- Synopsis:
When Leontes (Will Keen), Sicilian king, becomes convinced his pregnant wife Hermione (Priyanga Burford) is conducting an affair with his closest friend Polixenes (Oliver Ryan), King of Bohemia, he is so enraged he banishes her new-born child, while Hermione apparently dies of grief. Sixteen years later, the child, Perdita (Norah Lopez Holden), having been raised in Bohemia by shepherds, is in love with Florizel (Luke MacGregor), son of Polixenes, who forbids their marriage. The lovers travel to Leontes' court seeking happiness, which they find - in ways nobody expected. Blanche McIntyre directs a new version of Shakespeare's great play of the irrational and inexplicable. Set in a world of monsters, gods and natural disasters, travel from the stifling atmosphere of the Sicilian court, to the unbuttoned joy of a Bohemian festival. - Actors:
