Winter’s Tale is an epic romance that spans two kingdoms, four marriages and sixteen years. A friendly visit from the king of Bohemia to the neighboring kingdom of Sicily becomes an international scandal when the local King Leontes accuses his own wife of adultery with his guest. The situation quickly spirals out of control, and Leontes is left with no wife, no children and a kingdom in decline. Shakespeare’s Tale explores how jealousy, redemption, and forgiveness can tear families apart and bring them together. Join Traveling Players in a world of thieving pick-pockets, omniscient oracles and very hungry bears.
Based in Tysons, VA, Traveling Players trains teen actors through its vibrant educational programs, including this program that tours Shakespeare professionally. The NEA selected Traveling Players as one of the best 25 places in the country to receive artistic training in the summer. www.travelingplayers.org
