I've seen it. It isn't one of his better plays. It is pretty much exactly what you'd expect for Tudor propaganda. He was not writing that for the sake of the art, but more for the sake of his neck.

Any chance I could get the cliff notes version of this? Why would this play be particularly propaganda, and his other ones less or not? Wasn't there a lot of official censorship and political pressure and so forth affecting the theater in England as a whole at the time?

Because it dealt with events that were close to living memory, leading up to the birth of Queen Elizabeth I, the previous monarch at the time of writing.

The Globe in London did it a few years ago, but it's very much dull Tudor propaganda written without much room for manoeuvre.

It's not one of his more popular ones. I've never seen or heard of anybody performing Cymbeline either.

Baby Tom Hiddleston was in a production of Cymbeline that got good reviews: https://www.cheekbyjowl.com/productions/cymbeline/

Current scholarship is that it's not written entirely by Shakespeare, in collaboration with John Fletcher, so not considered Shakespeare canon by many.
