The Winter's Tale at Festival Theatre

Leontes has everything a man could want: power, wealth, a loving family and friends. But he is not at peace. Inside he harbours a bitter jealousy that drives him to destroy all he holds dear.

Many years later in a distant country a journey begins that may ultimately heal his pain and reunite his family in Shakespeare's uplifting tale of reconciliation and forgiveness.

Lucy Bailey returns to the Royal Shakespeare Company to direct The Winter's Tale following her acclaimed 2012 RSC production of The Taming of the Shrew.
