Cymbeline, 1997: Royal Shakespeare Company.

Shakespeare may have drawn on Boccaccio's Decameron (II.9) for this episode in Cymbeline, in which a villain smuggles himself in a chest carried into a virtuous lady's home, in order to secure items and information which will serve to defame her reputation. The scene of the intrusion of Iachimo into Imogen's bedroom required a minimum of sets and properties for this production (2.2.11). Director, Adrian Noble; designer, Anthony Ward; Iachimo, Paul Freeman; Imogen, Joanne Pearce; photographer: Donald Cooper (courtesy of ahds.ac.uk/performingarts)
