Enjoy Shakespeare's Cymbeline
Cymbeline is a ruler of a divided Britain. When Imogen, the only living heir, marries her sweetheart in secret, an engaged Cymbeline is blind to the actions of a powerful figure behind the throne who is plotting to seize power by murdering them both.
In exile, Imogen’s husband is tricked into believing she has been unfaithful to him and in an act of impulsive jealousy begins a scheme to have her murdered. Warned of the danger, Imogen runs away from court in disguise on a journey fraught with danger that will eventually reunite Cymbeline with a lost heir and reconcile the young lovers.
Melly Still, whose credits include Coram Boy for the National Theatre and The Cunning Little Vixen for Glyndebourne, directs Shakespeare’s late play of power, jealousy, sexuality and identity.
