SYNOPSIS:
Polixenes, King of Bohemia, has been on a nine-month visit to the court of his childhood friend Leontes, King of Sicilia, and his wife, Queen Hermione. When Leontes becomes convinced (wrongly) that his wife has been having an affair with Polixenes. From here the story is frought with heartache and exile, but eventually blossoms into fresh discovery and love. Truly a play for all seasons!
