Summary |
The Winter's Tale was one of the very last plays Shakespeare wrote. A moving romance whose themes are sin, forgiveness, death, rebirth, and the power of time and nature to heal all wounds. Based on a novella by Shakespeare's enemy and arch rival Robert Greene, "The winter's tale" introduces Perdita, perhaps the Bard's most richly symbolic character. At times tragic, at times humorous, but always entertaining and instructive, "The winters tale" is a complex and rewarding work by the greatest dramatist of all time. A Shakespeare Society production. The complete play in four acts. |
