The Winter’s Tale

“It is required you do awake your faith.”

Once upon a time in a land called Sicilia, King Leontes is infected by an uncontrollable jealousy over his pregnant wife, Hermione. Shakespeare’s timeless romance takes us on a fairy tale adventure from the darkness of Sicilia to the color and music of Bohemia. Shipwrecks, bears, and magic oracles dance across the stage in this story of betrayal and forgiveness, reunion and reconciliation. Hope and forgiveness sit at the heart of Shakespeare’s most magical of fairy stories with an unforgettable ending driven by the power of redemption.

For the first time in CST’s history, two plays will be performed in repertory by one masterfully talented Chicago Shakespeare Company of actors. Under the creative leadership of CST Artistic Director Edward Hall and taking its inspiration from Shakespeare’s own company and CST’s roots as the Shakespeare Repertory, a company of 14 actors perform both The Winter’s Tale and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, two of Shakespeare’s most beguiling fairy tales. This double header of productions makes for a thrilling theatrical experience, with two beautiful plays exploring the formidable power of love, laughter, and forgiveness.
