About this title

Review:

The Winter's Tale is possibly Shakespeare's most perfect play with its rhythm of lost and found - a tarnished fairytale that redeems itself. It's a play that, when it works, casts a spell like no other, and this production, co-directed by Branagh and Rob Ashford, is magical. --Guardian

Kenneth Branagh and Rob Ashford's revelatory, unforgettable and game changing revival of The Winter's Tale... Full of passion and precise power... fresh and invigorating.. told with brilliant clarity and intense emotion... This is pure theatrical magic. The Winter's Tale for our times. --BritishTheatre.com

There are plays that quickly become the highlight of the year and there are plays that strike a chord so deep in oneself that they will resonate for many more to come. The Winter's Tale is one of these. The beauty, majesty and utter perfection that shine from start to end in this production are not easily forgotten. A privilege to watch - spellbinding, otherworldly, magical. --A Younger Theatre
