Cheek by Jowl: The Winter's Tale (2017)

Drama
Overview
One of Shakespeare's greatest plays, The Winter's Tale, though written at the same period as The Tempest, smashes all the rules that The Tempest follows. Unity of time, place and action are hurled aside as we range across Europe, from court to country, from high tragedy to low comedy, across a time span of sixteen years.

Initial darkness gives way to joy as Time leads the characters to a shattering conclusion...
