The Winter’s Tale

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Shana Cooper
April 14 – October 30, 2027 Thomas Theatre

“It is required you do awake your faith”

A jealous king, a queen accused, a newborn daughter abandoned: The stakes are high in Shakespeare’s classic story of suspicion and its tragic consequences. But years later in a beautiful, faraway land, when a prince woos his love, a shepherdess—who is not what she seems—the pendulum swings from darkness to delight, leading the couple on a surprise voyage back to where the story began. This fantastical tale from late in Shakespeare’s career turns vengeance into redemption and mourning into magic in a new production directed by Shana Cooper (The Taming of the Shrew) in OSF’s most intimate space, the Thomas Theatre

Suitability Suggestions
This epic romance, which starts with the breakup of a family, contains the offstage death of a child and depictions of jealous rage and possible staged violence targeting a woman. Because of the play’s complex language and mature themes, it is recommended for well-prepared middle and high school students. Preface recommended.
