The Winter’s Tale
About the Show
King Leontes has loyal friends, a gracious queen, an adoring son and a child on the way. Yet in a sudden fit of jealousy he destroys it all, plunging himself and those he has forgotten he loves into a bleak winter of despair. Only the rhythms of nature and the passage of time can heal – time for Leontes to face what he has done, time for a young princess to grow into radiant womanhood, and time for a wise woman to orchestrate the mysterious events that yield a aglorious harvest of reunion and forgiveness. Libby Appel directs.
