King Leontes of Sicilia is seized by unexpected and dreadful jealousy of his wife Hermione, whom he accuses of adultery. He believes the child Hermione is bearing was fathered by his friend Polixenes, so when the baby lady exists he orders her to be taken to some outrageous place and left to expire. Though Hermione's child escapes death, Leontes' cruelty has dreadful consequences. Loss paves just how for reunion, and life and hope are blessed out of desolation and despair. One of the late romances in Shakespeare's canon, this complex work is at times tragic, sometimes funny, but always engaging and enlightening. Sinead Cusack plays Hermione, and Ciaran Hinda plays Leontes. Eileen Atkins is Paulina and Paul Jesson is Polixenes. Time the Chorus is played by Sir John Gielgud.
