The Winter's Tale

Grouped by some scholarly circles with Shakespeare’s late romances, while others consider it amongst his comedies, The Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s classic “problem plays.” A compelling mix of psychological drama and comic relief, the popular play tells the story of a royal family whose tragic beginnings ultimately afford them opportunities for reconciliation and redemption. Spanning the length of sixteen years, The Winter’s Tale remains one of Shakespeare’s most complex and underappreciated works.
