By William Shakespeare
Directed by Antoni Cimolino
This production depicts scenes of violence and death, with victims including adults and children.
Blinded by jealousy, King Leontes falsely accuses his pregnant wife of infidelity, setting into motion a series of catastrophes that will destroy his wife and son and leave his infant daughter abandoned to the elements on a distant island. Seeing the folly of his ways, Leontes vows to live out his days atoning for his actions. Sixteen years later, the king is offered an unlikely chance at redemption. A late play from Shakespeare, The Winter’s Tale offers a beguiling blend of comedy, tragedy and mystery.
The 2025 Season is supported by Ophelia Lazaridis.
