Leontes has everything: Power, wealth and a loving family. However, when he is struck with a sudden, all-consuming jealousy, he lashes out, losing his wife, his son and abandoning his daughter in distant Bohemia. Sixteen years later, Leontes’ daughter falls in love with a young visitor, setting in motion a chain of events that in the end offers Leontes something that most people never get: a second chance. The Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s most beautiful plays - a dazzling and compassionate saga known for its masterful blending of the tragic, comic and spiritual.
