ShakespeareÕs sublime late masterpiece sweeps breathtakingly from jealousy, rage and loss to redemption, reconciliation and, finally, wonder. Along the way it visits kings and queens, playful children, a singing street-hustler, dancing shepherds, a most extraordinary statue, and (of course) that famously hungry bear. A profound exploration of the simple miracles in life, and the forces that shape them: love, friendship and forgiveness.
David Strathairn (L.A. Confidential, BroadwayÕs DANCE OF DEATH) leads an expert cast in a production by Artistic Director Barry Edelstein, one of this countryÕs leading Shakespearean directors, with original music by celebrated composer Michael Torke.
