One of Shakespeare's final plays, \u003ci\u003eCymbeline \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of the British king Cymbeline and his daughter, Imogen. It is a tale of deceit and jealousy, with accusations of infidelity that often draw comparisons to \u003ci\u003eOthello \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Winter's Tale.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This translation of \u003ci\u003eCymbeline \u003c\/i\u003ewas written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of \"The Bard\" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse.
