When kingdoms collide and love defies empires, truth wears many disguises.

William Shakespeare's Cymbeline is a wild ride through ancient Britain where nothing is as it seems. Princess Imogen has secretly married Posthumus, a worthy but low-born gentleman, enraging her father, King Cymbelin,e who banishes her beloved and tries to force her into marrying the odious Cloten. Exiled in Rome, Posthumus falls prey to the villainous Iachimo's wager—he'll prove Imogen unfaithful or forfeit a fortune. When Iachimo's elaborate deception convinces Posthumus that his wife has betrayed him, he orders her murdered. But Imogen escapes, disguises herself as a boy, stumbles into a cave where her long-lost brothers live as outlaws, takes a potion that makes her appear dead, and wakes up next to a headless corpse she mistakes for her husband. Add political intrigue with Rome, battles with cross-dressing warriors, a wicked stepmother plotting murder, and a prophecy involving an eagle, and you've got Shakespeare's most deliriously entertaining romance. It's got everything—true love, false accusations, fairy-tale reunions, and one of the most jaw-dropping final scenes in all of literature where twenty-four separate revelations untangle the chaos. Pure theatrical magic.
