Cymbeline: Tragédie

by William Shakespeare

Translated by François Guizot

"Cymbeline: Tragédie" by William Shakespeare is a play written around 1611. Set in Ancient Britain, it follows Princess Imogen, who secretly marries Posthumus Leonatus against her father King Cymbeline's wishes. When Posthumus is banished, a cunning wager tests Imogen's faithfulness, leading to false accusations, disguises, and mistaken identities. Meanwhile, political tensions with Rome escalate as hidden royal heirs live unknowingly in the Welsh mountains. This complex tale weaves together themes of innocence, jealousy, and deception across Britain and Italy.
