"BOLDNESS BE MY FRIEND: ARM ME AUDACITY FROM HEAD TO FOOT!"
Forbidden love. Familial strife. Political intrigue. In Cymbeline, the final play from Shakespeare's First Folio, the playwright fuses romance, comedy and tragedy to create a unique fantasia brimming with mistaken identities and gender-swapping disguises. Cymbeline's daughter, Innogen, one of Shakespeare's most celebrated heroines, is thrust into the world of court politics and ruthless personal ambitions when she chooses a lover beneath her station. Deceived by the dastardly Iachimo, a worthy contender for the Bard's all-time greatest villain, Innogen must fight to protect her honour and agency.
