A Winter’s Tale

adapted by Hannah Davies and Tom Cornford

cast: Sarah Davies, Rebecca Beattie, Mark Edwards, Jonny Neaves

A Winter's Tale re-imagines Shakespeare's story of cruelty, separation, love and forgiveness for a quartet of performers, speaking sometimes Shakespeare's words and sometimes their own. Beginning in the court of Leontes, the jealous king of Sicilia, whose tyrannical cruelty divides his family and blights his kingdom, it follows the fortunes of his abandoned daughter Perdita. Rescued by shepherds and wooed by a prince, she is returned to a home she has never known to bring peace and reconciliation.

Shakespeare's magical, mysterious play as you've never seen it before, jogging soon along a footpath near you...
