"Thou met'st with things dying, I with things new-born"
In the austere "imperial" court of Sicily, Queen Hermione is accused of infidelity by her husband, Leontes.
Seized by ungovernable jealousy his actions have catastrophic repercussions.
A dramatic change of scene transports us across sixteen years and to the bucolic idyll of the Bohemian countryside of the 1920s with young lovers, homely shepherds, a singing trickster, and a bear.
Ultimately Shakespeare's magic weaves all these strands into a harmonious resolution and what was lost is found
