Though Romeo and Juliet stand tall as Shakespeare's best-known romantic tale, in that play's shadow stands the lesser-known—but by no means lesser—piece known as Cymbeline. The story of a girl must prove her faith to her lover amid dramatic circumstances is a favorite for the Bard's aficionados. Check it out when it comes to a theater near you.
Cymbeline's story revolves around two lovers: Posthumus, a passionate commoner, and Imogen, the daughter of King Cymbeline. Though they are desperately in love, and have secretly married, both Posthumus and Imogen fear the news getting out to Cymbline, who would be angered by the revelation. And of course, that's exactly what happens, setting into motion a strange and dramatic tale.
Cymbeline tickets are now available! Sadly, this play doesn't appear on stages as often as some of William Shakespeare's better known works, but it is no less valuable to fans of the Bard. You have drama, some humor, and quite a bit of tense violence and scheming. If you were looking for theater tickets to a good play, you couldn't do better than Cymbeline.
