California Shakespeare Theater (Cal Shakes) has announced The Winter's Tale will run from September 1-26 at the Bruns Amphitheater. The production, previously announced in February as part of the Season of Shared Light, will be directed by Artistic Director Eric Ting in an adaptation by Ting and Resident Dramaturg Philippa Kelly.

"It's been a long year," says Ting. "But with the end finally in sight, we're thrilled to welcome audiences back with Shakespeare's extraordinary passion play. Part tragedy, part comedy, it's the very capsule of this moment."

Tickets will go on sale to the public in July. Cast and creative team will be announced at a later date. Dates are subject to change based on COVID-19 protocols and restrictions.
