          Leontes, the jealous King of Sicily becomes convinced that his wife, Hermione is carrying the child of his best friend Polixenes. Imprisoned and put on trial, the Queen collapses when the King refuses to accept the divine confirmation of her innocence. The child is abandoned to die on the coast of Bohemia.

          ''The work of Shakespeare is virtually infinite'' Jorge Luis Borges

          A jealous king, convinced that his wife has been unfaithful and is having another man''s baby, imprisons her and puts her on trial. The child is abandoned to die, but when she is found and raised by a shepherd, it seems redemption may be possible. A bravura blend of tragedy, comedy and romance, Shakespeare''s emotionally potent late play explores artifice and nature, mortality and renewal, and the destructive and consoling effects of time.
