We Love Shakespeare Ensemble - Winter's Tale

Shakespeare on jealousy and trust

In The Winter's Tale, We Love Shakespeare Ensemble performs one of Shakespeare's most poignant plays. King Leontes suddenly and without cause becomes convinced that his wife Hermione is cheating on him. His jealousy leads to accusations, loss, and far-reaching consequences for everyone around him. Shakespeare shows how quickly trust can be destroyed.

A story in 2 worlds

The play moves between 2 completely different worlds: the dark, tense atmosphere of the court and the light-hearted, almost fairytale-like world of the shepherds. That contrast makes The Winter's Tale special. It is not a pure tragedy and not a pure comedy, but something in between.
