A Staged Reading November 21 & 23 2024

The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare

Synopsis of Play

King Leontes of Sicilia is seized by sudden and terrible jealousy of his wife Hermione, whom he accuses of adultery. He believes the child Hermione is bearing was fathered by his friend Polixenes, and when the baby girl is born, he orders her to be taken away to the wilderness and left to die. Though Hermione's child escapes death, Leontes' cruelty has terrible consequences. Loss paves the way for reunion. Life and hope are born out of desolation and despair.

Director's Note

The Winter’s Tale is a play about the jealousies that can arise in a couple’s journey, and the consequences that can occur when a person acts upon their emotions. As a result, sometimes the resolution needs a bit of time to unfold. Allow this story to show you the power of time and all it can unveil.
