WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Edward Hall directs The Winter's Tale, by William Shakespeare in this Watermill Theatre (UK) production by Propeller.
Classified as a comedy, The Winter's Tale is perhaps best described as a fairy tale for grownups with its untrusting king, banished infant princess, man-eating bear, statues coming to life, and more. Its characters are complex and conflicted. Its themes are grand, dealing with jealousy, redemption, and reconciliation. And though it all ends relatively well, enough bad things occur to give the work a bittersweet twist. As realized by this all-male cast, the play takes on a refreshing levity while revealing the stunning cruelty at its core.

Edward Hall was born to direct Shakespeare. The son of famed director Sir Peter Hall, he and his all-male acting troupe Propeller made their New York debut a year and a half ago with a fresh, exciting production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Hall then returned to New York with Rose Rage, a six-hour epic that condensed Shakespeare's Henry VI, Parts I, II, and III; the sensationalist tactic of having actors tear into raw meat proved to be a visceral, highly effective way of showing the bloody conflicts within the play. Unfortunately, Hall's Broadway debut with Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire this past spring was less successful, but now the director and Propeller are back at BAM w[...]
