The Winter's Tale (Captioned by the RSC - 2010)
- Genre
- Drama
- Author
- William Shakespeare
Leontes is the man with the perfect life. Powerful, wealthy and surrounded by a loving family he should be content, but instead he is ill at ease with the world around him. Isolated by a destructive jealousy, he lashes out at those closest to him, losing his wife and son and abandoning his daughter in distant Bohemia. Sixteen years later, having grown up in a pastoral idyll, Leontes' daughter falls in love with a young visitor, setting in motion a chain of events that could eventually reunite their scattered family.
Greg Hicks rejoins the RSC to play Leontes following his appearance as Coriolanus, directed by David Farr, for which he won the Critics' Circle Best Actor Award.
