A late romance play of Shakespeare's, THE WINTER'S TALE follows the friendship of King Leontes of Sicilia and King Polixenes of Bohemia.  What happens when jealousy strikes?  The Queen of Sicilia is cast into prison, and love is jeopardized.  Can true forgiveness reign once the cold heart of winter's hatred has struck?  Including original music by Babatunde Lea of the Sunderman Conservatory of Music at Gettysburg College.
