Cymbeline
by William Shakespeare
Enraged by his daughter's disobedience to marriage against his wishes, the king of England expels his new son-in-law. The exiled man, who fled to Rome, makes a foolish bet with the villain there - he plays on the loyalty of his abandoned wife. Combining gentle threat and fear, comedy and melodrama, Cymbeline is a poignant image of two young lovers separated by infidelity and self-doubt.
