Royal Shakespeare Company: Cymbeline
It's a crisis in Britain. Dystopian Britain is ruled by an ineffective Queen Cymbeline. Cymbeline's judgment is impaired since she is so distraught by the deaths of two of her children. Cymbeline banishes Innogen's sweetheart Posthumus after she secretly marries him. Behind the throne, a ruthless individual schemes to assassinate them both in order to take control. In exile, Innogen's husband is deceived into thinking she has abandoned him, and out of irrational jealously, he hatches a plan to have her killed. Innogen flees court in disguise and begins a perilous trip that reunites Cymbeline with a long-lost heir and reconciles the young lovers.
