The Playwright:William ShakespeareBorn in <strong>Stratford</strong>-upon-Avon, a smallWarwickshire town, in 1564, WilliamShakespeare was the eldest son of JohnShakespeare, a glover, and Mary Arden, thedaughter of a wealthy farmer. The exact dateof his birth is unknown, but baptismal recordspoint to it being the same as that of his death,April 23. He probably attended what is now theEdward VI Grammar School, where he wouldhave studied Latin literature, and at 18, hemarried a farmer’s daughter, Anne Hathaway,with whom he had three children: Susanna,born in 1583, and, two years later, the twinsHamnet (who died in childhood) and Judith.1623, fellow dramatist Ben Jonson called him aman “not of an age, but for all time”. Not onlydid Shakespeare write some of the mostpopular plays of all time, but he was a veryprolific writer, writing 38 (canonically accepted)works in 23 years. His work covered manysubjects and styles, including comedies,tragedies, histories and romances, all bearinghis hallmark expansive plots, extraordinarylanguage and humanist themes. Shakespeareenjoyed great popularity in his lifetime, and400 years later, he is still the most producedplaywright in the world.Nothing further is known of his life until 1592,when his earliest known play, the first part ofHenry VI, became a hit in London, whereShakespeare was now working as an actor.Soon afterwards, an outbreak of the plagueforced the temporary closure of the theatres,and Shakespeare turned for a while to writingpoetry. By 1594, however, he was back in thetheatre, acting with the Lord Chamberlain’sMen. He quickly established himself as one ofLondon’s most successful dramatists, with anincome that enabled him, in 1597, to buy amansion back in <strong>Stratford</strong>. In 1599 he becamea shareholder in London’s newly built GlobeTheatre.In 1603, Shakespeare’s company was awardeda royal patent, becoming known as the King’sMen. Possibly as early as 1610, the playwrightretired to his home in <strong>Stratford</strong>-upon-Avon,living there – and continuing to invest in realestate – until his death on April 23, 1616. He isburied in the town’s Holy Trinity Church.In the first collected edition of his works inCymbeline STUDY GUIDE<strong>Stratford</strong> Shakespeare <strong>Festival</strong> <strong>2012</strong>3

Plot SynopsisIn the court of Cymbeline, King of Britain, Princess Imogen has secretly married her childhoodsweetheart, Posthumus. The king and his Queen (Imogen’s wicked stepmother) are furiousbecause Posthumus is a commoner and the Queen was hoping to force Imogen into marriagewith her loutish son, Cloten. Banished by the king, Posthumus seeks refuge in Italy, where hemeets the wily Iachimo who succeeds in drawing Posthumus into a wager regarding Imogen’sfidelity. Iachimo sets off to Britain to prove he can seduce Imogen and win the bet. Imogenrejects all of Iachimo’s advances but upon his return to Italy the crafty Italian manages toconvince Posthumus that Imogen has, in fact, been unfaithful.Posthumus sends a letter to his servant, Pisanio, who is watching over Imogen at court,instructing him to bring Imogen to Milford-Haven (in Wales) where she will be reunited with herhusband. Little does Imogen know that Pisanio has been instructed to kill her once they arrivethere for her supposed infidelity. Arriving at Milford-Haven, Pisanio cannot and will not kill her.Pisanio reveals Posthumus’s plot and leaves Imogen with some boys’ clothes to disguise herselfand a vial of poison given to him by the Queen (who told him it had healing properties). Imogen,in disguise, gives herself the name “Fidele” and wanders, cold, hungry and exhausted, in thewoods until she happens upon a cave. It turns out that the cave is inhabited by Belarius (anobleman who was, long ago, unjustly banished by Cymbeline) and his two sons, <strong>Guide</strong>rius andArviragus (who, unbeknownst to them, are really Cymbeline’s sons stolen at birth. Belariuskidnapped them in revenge for his banishment). The men feel an instant fondness for “Fidele”and take “him” in.Back at court, Cymbeline refuses to pay the customary tribute to Rome; Caesar declares war onBritain. Cloten decides to take revenge on Imogen for rejecting him in favour of Posthumus and,dressed in Posthumus’s clothes, sets of to Milford-Haven in pursuit of her. Getting lost in thewoods along the way, Cloten encounters Belarius and the two boys, who are out hunting. Clotenpicks a fight with <strong>Guide</strong>rius and ends up, literally, losing his head. Bearing Cloten’s headlessbody, Belarius and the boys return to their cave only to find “Fidele” dead (Imogen has taken theQueen’s potion and has fallen into a death-like sleep). Sadly, the brothers lay “Fidele’s” bodynext to Cloten’s (who is still wearing Posthumus’s clothes). Imogen ultimately awakes to find theheadless body, whom she believes to be Posthumus, beside her. In this moment of despair aRoman soldier, Lucius, happens upon her and takes “Fidele” into his service as a page. As wordof the war spreads, Posthumus (remorseful over having “killed” his wife, and disguised as aBritish peasant), <strong>Guide</strong>rius, Arviragus and Belarius join up to fight against Rome in Britain’sdefence.Against all odds, Britain wins the war. When the Roman prisoners, including Lucius, Fidele andIachimo, are brought before Cymbeline, the revelations and surprises come fast and furiously.Iachimo confesses his lies regarding Imogen; Imogen and Posthumus reveal their identities andare reunited; the doctor announces the Queen’s death and treachery; Belarius reveals hisidentity and that of his “sons” and the whole royal family is happily reunited. Cymbeline makespeace with Rome and pays the tribute due to Caesar.Cymbeline STUDY GUIDE<strong>Stratford</strong> Shakespeare <strong>Festival</strong> <strong>2012</strong>7


Sources and OriginsShakespeare drew on two main sources for the plot of Cymbeline: a translation of a Dutch story,Frederyke of Jennen, published in Antwerp in 1518, and Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron (1353).Shakespeare likely read the latter in a popular French translation written by Antoine Le Maçon in1545. The main plot – a man wagering on his wife’s fidelity – had been a popular story forcenturies.Shakespeare also drew on Holinshed’s Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland (1587) fordetails of the historical Cunobelinus’s reign. Other historical information came from RobertFabyan’s New Chronicle of England and of France (1516) and A Mirror for Magistrates (1587), acollection of biographies by John Higgins and Thomas Blenerhasset.Such plot lines as Posthumus and Imogen’s love, Cloten’s jealousy, Posthumus’s exile andImogen’s flight come from an anonymous play called The Rare Triumphs of Love and Fortune,performed in 1582 and published in 1589.Historical BackgroundOf all the characters in the play, only Cymbeline and his two sons, <strong>Guide</strong>rius and Arviragus,actually existed. Little is known about the historical Cymbeline (more properly known asCunobelinus), who ruled southeast England for some 35 years in the first century BC.The historical sources available to Shakespeare were contradictory in their accounts, and his titlecharacter bears little relation to what we know of the historical figure. The Roman invasion thatShakespeare depicts Cymbeline resisting, for instance, did not in fact take place till after the realCunobelinus’s death.<strong>Stratford</strong> ProductionHistoryThis is the fourth production of Cymbeline at the <strong>Stratford</strong> Shakespeare <strong>Festival</strong> and the secondto be presented at the Tom Patterson Theatre.Cymbeline STUDY GUIDE<strong>Stratford</strong> Shakespeare <strong>Festival</strong> <strong>2012</strong>8
