3 - 7 November 2009
Minerva Theatre
A Schtanhaus/Nuffield Theatre Southampton co-production in association with Headlong
By William Shakespeare
Director Simon Godwin
‘Prepare for more amazement.’
 
With a lost child, a jealous King, a beautiful statue and the most famous stage direction of all time, Shakespeare’s late, great romance weaves high drama and low comedy to tell a story of heartbreak, reunion and new found hope.
 
When Leontes, King of Sicilia, becomes convinced his wife, Hermione, is having an adulterous affair with his oldest friend he is consumed with jealousy. As the effects of his rage spread, a rollercoaster story unfolds of mistaken identities, a man-eating bear, court-room dramas and a secret box which will restore a long-lost daughter to her grieving father.
 
The Winter’s Tale combines the tightly plotted excitement of a thriller with the mythic beauty of a fairytale. Sweeping across continents and generations, it has charmed audiences for 450 years and is now imagined afresh in this bold and contemporary new production.
 
Headlong Theatre, Nuffield Theatre Southampton and Schtanhaus are thrilled to be collaborating with a team of highlyacclaimed theatre-makers on this humane and magical masterpiece.
