The Winter's Tale

The action of The Winter's Tale unfolds over sixteen years, in a plot equal to any of the great cinematic romances of big screen history.  Director Simon Pell exploited this epic story of jealousy, retribution and remorse in a production combining the wartime civil service, musical hoe-downs and a complete bear costume borrowed from the RSC.
