Winter's Tale (NDSF 2015)

Author: Shakespeare at Notre Dame

Winter's Tale

“...if that which is lost be not found.”

Shakespeare’s late masterpiece weaves music, magic, faith, country dances, bear attacks, shipwrecks, courtroom dramas, and fierce jealousy into a romantic fairy tale split between two worlds. Contrasting the dark and somber textures of Sicilia with the pastoral playfulness of Bohemia, this production asks: what trials can love endure?
