Cymbeline by William Shakespeare
"Cymbeline" by William Shakespeare is a play written around 1611 set in Ancient Britain. King Cymbeline's daughter Imogen secretly marries Posthumus, who is banished for his offense. When a wager tests Imogen's faithfulness, deception and jealousy set tragic events in motion. Meanwhile, political tensions rise as Rome demands tribute from Britain. Through disguises, mistaken identities, and long-lost princes hidden in Welsh mountains, the play weaves together themes of innocence, betrayal, and loyalty
in a complex tale that blends tragedy, romance, and comedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
