One of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, The Winter’s Tale, though written at the same period as , smashes all the rules that The Tempest follows. Unity of time, place and action are hurled aside as we range across Europe, from court to country, from high tragedy to low comedy, across a time span of 16 years.

The Winter’s Tale tells of a delusional and paranoid king who tears his family apart. But this is the new Shakespeare, after he completed his great tragedies, and the tough struggle for redemption yields flickers of hope. Initial darkness gives way to joy as Time leads the characters to a shattering conclusion...

Produced by Cheek by Jowl in a co-production with the Barbican, ; Les Gémeaux/Sceaux/ Scène Nationale; Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg; Piccolo Teatro di Milano - Teatro d’Europa; Chicago Shakespeare Theater; Centro Dramático Nacional, Madrid (INAEM). Natalie Radmall-Quirke. Photo: Johan Persson Wh
