“All gold and silver rather turn to dirt.”
One of his least performed plays, Shakespeare’s tale of romance and reconciliation is brought to life in this dystopian production from the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Captured live in Stratford-upon-Avon, this adaptation reimagined Cymbeline as a queen rather than a king, making Gillian Bevan the first woman to play the title role at the RSC.
