How many people have seen or read Cymbeline? Not I!

The scene is set in a cave in the Welsh mountains, where the exiled Imogen, disguised as the boy Fidele, is staying with Belarius and his two sons, who are actually Cymbeline's long-lost sons, Polydore and Cadwal (real names are Guiderius and Arviragus).

A farce of mistaken identities? Cross-dressing boys of mesmerising charm? It could only be Shakespeare
