    About this ebook

    London. 2016. A strange and unsettled time – where men and the violence of gangs rules the streets.

    In a dangerous world we hear a new voice – Imogen’s.

    Suffocated by her father’s aggression – her man kicked out of town, her life under threat, poisoned by the drugs of her step-mother – she strikes out on her own to try and reach the man she loves.

    A thrillingly raw and modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s Cymbeline, re-told and created by young Londoners. This production will employ modern costumes and staging.
