Publisher's Summary
This strange, dark romance includes two songs composed by Shakespeare that are amongst the most beautiful in the English language.
Imogen, the daughter of King Cymbeline, is persecuted by her wicked stepmother, the Queen, and by Cloten, the Queen's doltish son. Disguised as a boy, she sets out to find her husband, the banished Posthumus. On her journey, she unwittingly meets her two brothers, stolen from the court as infants. Posthumus, meanwhile, has been convinced by the villainous Iachimo that Imogen is unchaste and agrees to a test of her faithfulness.
Sophie Thompson is Imogen, and Ben Porter is Posthumus. Cymbeline is played by Jack Shepherd; Suzanne Bertish is the Queen. Stephen Mangan plays Cloten, and Ron Cook plays Iachimo.

Mixed Feelings About This One...
Good - but I don't think it was great. The plot was entertaining and the performance excellent. The language in Shakespeare is always outstanding.
However, there seems to be a naivety in the characters. They seem less nuanced and developed then those in other Shakespeare plays.
Still, I enjoyed it and would recommend the listen.
