The Winter's Tale at Thomas Theatre, Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Directed by Shana Cooper, this production of Shakespeare's late romance moves from a jealous king's tragic accusations to a story of forgiveness and wonder years later in a faraway land. A prince woos a shepherdess who is not what she seems, leading the couple on a surprise voyage back to where the story began. The production transforms vengeance into redemption and mourning into magic in OSF's most intimate space.
