Cymbeline

The Royal House of Britain is crumbling under strain. Princess Imogen, distraught after her low-born husband is banished by her father, takes matters into her own hands. Meanwhile King Cymbeline himself struggles with the unresolved grief left by his missing sons. Further shaken by his daughter’s defiance and blind to the true nature of his treacherous wife, Cymbeline commits an act of petty defiance; one that could lead the entire kingdom into war against the world’s greatest empire…

Politics, pride and a sinister bet collide with family, lovers and concealed identities in Shakespeare’s most genre-spanning tale.

As Shakespeare400 celebrations draw to a close, Who Said Theatre present a visceral double bill of plays focusing on banishment.
