In Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, a jealous king accuses his wife of infidelity, plunging the family and the kingdom into turmoil. This sets the stage for a sweeping story of abandonment, betrayal, romance, concealment and possibly reconciliation. Through rich language and playful theatricality, Shakespeare’s surprisingly timely play questions power, loyalty, and the transformative force of forgiveness.
