'Pray you, sit by us, and tell's a tale. Merry or sad shall't be? As merry as you will. A sad tale's best for winter.' A tale of passion, jealousy, fantasy and fairytale, the play charts the transition from winter to spring, tragedy to comedy, and revenge to romance. It is the story of high adventure where an angry King falsely accuses and discards his family to his later regret

Reviews

The Times: 11Jan01:
Joanna Read s production has its moments, helped by Nancy Surman s simple but thoughtful design, but it is too often stilted and awkward. The last act works its magic nonetheless. John Ramm s Leontes here becomes genuinely affecting.
