Shakespeare's Cymbeline re-imagined

Pointless explores what happens when Princess Imogen's fairy tale narrative doesn't go according to plan. Get ready for a mash-up of the Bards' most classic plot twists - mis-identity, an estranged royal family, fantastical forests, and a wicked stepmother - told through stylized movement and shadow puppetry.
