The Winter's Tale: William Shakespeare

A jealous king, convinced that his wife has been unfaithful and is having another man`s baby, imprisons her and puts her on trial. The child is abandoned to die, but when she is found and raised by a shepherd, it seems redemption may be possible. A bravura blend of tragedy, comedy and romance, Shakespeare`s emotionally potent late play explores artifice and nature, mortality and renewal, and the destructive and consoling effects of time.
