Shakespeare NW Presents - Cymbeline

Cymbeline, King of Britain has banished his daughter's lowly husband, and set up his oafish stepson as her suitor. With invasion looming from Augustus Caesar, will the poor exile be deceived about his wife's fidelity by a crafty Italian? Will the past come back to haunt us, or help us? Will loved ones ever be reunited? This comedic, tragic, historical, pastoral romance has almost every trick and trope you can hope for in a Shakespeare play, except horse-riding sounds with coconuts. "Was this bizarre British comedy an inspiration for Monty Python?"
