Cymbeline, King of Britain, banishes Posthumus, a gentleman of humble birth, after discovering his secret marriage to Imogen, the king's daughter. The jealous Iachimo wagers that he can seduce Imogen and prove her infidelity. Through deception and trickery, Iachimo convinces Posthumus that Imogen has betrayed him. In his rage, Posthumus orders her death. Imogen flees into the Welsh wilderness disguised as a boy, encountering her long-lost brothers and consuming a potion she believes will heal her but instead renders her unconscious. When she awakens beside the headless body of Cloten, she believes it to be Posthumus and falls into despair. Meanwhile, a Roman invasion of Britain unfolds, and Posthumus, wracked with guilt, fights alongside the British forces. Through a series of revelations and divine intervention, the truth emerges: Imogen lives, her brothers are restored to their rightful place, and Posthumus is reunited with his beloved wife. The play concludes with reconciliation, forgiveness, and the promise of peace between Britain and Rome.
