Cymbeline (Audio Described)

Cymbeline • Comedy, Drama, Educational, Fantasy

Audio Described
The Stratford Festival’s latest production of Cymbeline – one of the hits of the 2024 season. The play fuses romance, comedy and tragedy to create a unique fantasia brimming with mistaken identities and gender-swapping disguises. Cymbeline’s daughter, Innogen, one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated heroines, is thrust into the world of court politics and ruthless personal ambitions when she chooses a lover beneath her station. Deceived by the dastardly Iachimo, a worthy contender for the Bard’s all-time greatest villain, Innogen must fight to protect her honour and agency.
