ABOUT TO PLAY:

"King Cymbeline of Britain banishes his daughter Imogen's commoner husband, Posthumus, who then makes a bet on Imogen's fidelity with the Italian Rogue, Jachimo. Imogen runs away with Pisanio's help, and then becomes a page for Caius Lucius as Rome invades Britain. In the end, Imogen clears her name, discovers her long-lost brothers and reunites with her husband while Cymbeline makes peace with Rome." - adapted from shakespeare.org
