By turns enchanting and mysterious, hilarious and heartbreaking, this enigmatic tale has long beguiled audiences with its story of miraculous transformation and the enduring strength of family ties. This startling and original adventure is not quite a comedy, not quite a tragedy, but one hundred percent Shakespeare.

All seems well at court in Sicilia, but the jealous king recklessly pushes away those he loves--sending them on odysseys of self-renewal and enlightenment--only to finally reunite with his family sixteen years later. After memorable visits from some of Shakespeare's funniest pastoral characters, it takes perhaps the most startling coup de theatre in the canon--and maybe just a touch of magic--to redeem a king's shame, and make a broken family whole again.
