Cymbeline

Cymbeline tells the story of a British king Cymbeline and his three children presented as though they are in a fairy tale. The secret marriage of Cymbeline’s daughter Imogen triggers much of the action which includes villainous slander homicidal jealousy cross-gender disguise a deathlike trance and the appearance of Jupiter in a vision.. Cymbeline displays unusually powerful emotions with a tremendous charge. Like some of Shakespeare’s other late work—especially The Winter’s Tale and The Tempest—it is an improbable story lifted into a nearly mythic realm.
