As the sun sets and the shadows lengthen, another evening of Summer Shakespeare unfolds.
The Victoria University of Wellington's 2011 season of Summer Shakespeare brings you The Winter's Tale, a tragicomedy embroidered with romance and brought to life in Wellington's Botanic Garden.
When a powerful king falls into a jealous and tyrannical fit, he loses everything that is important to him. But can the power of love triumph over fear and loss to bring redemption and reconciliation?
Directed by Lori Leigh and bringing together a cast of students and graduates from Victoria University of Wellington, Toi Whakaari, and Sydney’s National Institute of Dramatic Art, this production explores Shakespeare’s timeless play of prophecies, romance, drama, comedy, and wild bears through the “here and now” of rural New Zealand, bringing pastoral and theatrical magic to true blue sheep country.
Come delight the senses and indulge the summer wiles with Summer Shakespeare 2011 The Winter's Tale. Picnics optional, but very recommended.
