The Winter's Tale

March 22 – April 1, 2012

By William Shakespeare
Studio Theatre

Jealousy, rage, intrigue, love, revenge and comic mishaps abound in one of Shakespeare's most intriguingly plotted plays. The king of Sicily suspects his best friend of having an illicit love affair with his wife, the queen. In a fit of jealous revenge, the king orders his wife to prison and sends his infant daughter far from home into exile in Bohemia. Covering a span of 16 years and culminating with one of the most stunning and surprising endings in all of Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale - with its unique blend of tragedy, farce, fairy tale, and romance – is ultimately the Bard's timeless affirmation of the power of forgiveness, love and redemption.

As Reiss suggests, no matter how far we journey we carry an essential part of home with us. Conversely, those who stay home must still take life's journey. This season we explore the human journey both far away and close to home. ... Full Article
