Synopsis

Cymbeline is a play by William Shakespeare, based on an early Celtic British King. Although listed as a tragedy in the First Folio, modern critics often classify it as a romance. Like Othello, Measure for Measure, and The Winter's Tale, it deals with the themes of innocence and jealousy. While its date of composition is unknown, the play is known to have been produced as early as 1611.

About the Author:

William Shakespeare had a wife, ten years older than he himself (he was eighteen) and pregnant at the time of their marriage. He also, apparently, had a mistress in London. But the much-quoted love sonnets written by Shakespeare were written to a boy who was fifteen when Shakespeare began writing about him and eighteen when the sonnets end. In Shakespeare's plays, too, same-sex attraction shows up more frequently than the general public knows. Cymbeline is one of the best examples.
