Author(s): George Bernard Shaw adapted from original from William Shakespeare
Licensing Agent: Samuel French, Inc
Genre: Comedy
Length: Full Length
Male Roles: 10
Female Roles: 1
Extras: 0

Description: Here Shaw supplies a "better" ending for Cymbeline. Shakespeare's melodramatic devices Posthumous' dream, the Queen's death and Cymbeline's identification of Guiderius by a birthmark are eliminated. Instead, Imogen chides Posthumous for trying to have her killed and neither of the long lost sons wants to be King.
