The Winter's Tale tells of how King Leontes loses his wife and newborn daughter through his furious yet baseless jealousy. A long journey through time and across borders eventually effects an astonishing and redemptive resolution. Boasting the most famous stage direction in history, 'Exit, pursued by a bear', this is one of Shakespeare's most imaginative, troubling and delightful plays.
