26 roles
King of Britain and Imogen's father. Once a wise and gracious monarch, but grief for his lost children clouds his judgement and he is led astray by the machinations of his new wicked Queen.
Cymbeline's wife and Imogen's stepmother. A villainous woman, she will stop at nothing–including murder – to see her son, Cloten, married to Imogen and, therefore, become the eventual king of Britain.
Daughter to Cymbeline by his former queen. Wise, beautiful, and resourceful, Imogen incurs her father's displeasure when she chooses to marry the lowborn Posthumus, instead of Cymbeline's oafish stepson, Cloten.
Husband to Imogen. An orphaned gentleman, he is adopted and raised by King Cymbeline. Posthumus marries Imogen in secret, against her father's will. Posthumus is deeply in love with Imogen but thinks the worst of her when she is accused of infidelity.
Son to the present queen by a former husband. He was betrothed to Imogen before her secret wedding to Posthumus. Cloten is arrogant, clumsy, foolish.

An Italian gentleman. Posthumus stays at Philario’s home during his exile from Britain.

An ambassador to Britain and, later, the general of the Roman invasion force.
A British nobleman, unjustly banished by Cymbeline. He kidnapped Cymbeline's infant children to revenge himself on the king, and, under the name of MORGAN, he has raised them as his own children in the Welsh wilderness.
