"The Winter's Tale" by William Shakespeare is a play originally published in 1623. When King Leontes becomes consumed by unfounded jealousy, suspecting his pregnant wife of infidelity with his childhood friend, he unleashes a tragedy that shatters his family and kingdom. A baby is abandoned, a oracle is defied, and lives are lost. Sixteen years pass, bringing new love and unexpected revelations that may finally offer redemption and reunion—if the wounds of
the past can truly heal. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
