Thank you to Eoin Price for offering an introduction to Cymbeline:

Eoin Price is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Swansea University. He is the author of ‘Public’ and ‘Private’ Playhouses in Renaissance England (Palgrave, 2015). His current project, Shakespeare’s Successors, examines what the King’s Men did after Shakespeare retired, focusing in particular on the plays of John Fletcher and Philip Massinger. The project has received funding support from the Society for Theatre Research, the Harry Ransom Center, and the Huntington Library.

Many thanks, also, to my friend Joey Bianco of Whim Wham for the animated video elements.

Here are some resources to help guide your way into Cymbeline:

• Cymbeline resources, character map, and infographic from Course Hero.
• Internet Shakespeare Editions has introductions to Cymbeline and information about the play’s sources.
• Watch a synopsis of Cymbeline from Finger Puppet Shakespeare or the Royal Shakespeare Company.
• A full performance of Cymbeline from Shakespeare by the Sea.

Thanks for Dan Hainsworth for letting us use his Shakespeare icons, as shown above right.
