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.

Following her acclaimed 2012 production of The Taming of the Shrew, Lucy Bailey returns to the Royal Shakespeare Company to direct a cast including Adam Levy as Polixenes, Jo Stone-Fewings as Leontes and Tara Fitzgerald as Hermione, with music composed by Jon Boden, lead singer of hit folk band Bellowhead.

"Lucy Bailey's inventive joyful new Shakespeare staging" The Times
