Prefaces to Shakespeare | Cymbeline
Jeffery Dench, actor and an associate artist of the Royal Shakespeare Company, introduces the play and characters. "We have Imogen at the core, this pure white lovely girl on a hazardous journey surrounded by rainbow-coloured people who seem to be the symbols of human fallibility and the human power of destruction."
