THE WINTER’S TALE
by William Shakespeare
directed by Fred Sullivan, Jr.??
APR 21 – MAY 29, 2016
Celebrating the 400th year of Shakespeare’s death, The Gamm takes an epic, exhilarating journey through??The Winter’s Tale, one of the last and most strikingly beautiful of our favorite author’s plays. A royal family is ripped apart when crazed King Leontes of Sicilia imprisons his wife on unfounded suspicions of infidelity, exiles his newborn daughter, then tries to murder his life-long friend.
Sixteen years pass before he can confront the true consequences of his brutal actions. But can love and time mend the devastating effects of blinding jealousy and regret? Gorgeously poetic with twists and turns, laughter, and unexpected surprises,??The Winter’s Tale??is magical, emotionally complex and breathtakingly theatrical.????
The Gamm’s production is part of Shakespeare in American Communities, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in Partnership with Arts Midwest.
