“Thank God for director Antoni Cimolino! His searing, lyrical, and ultimately shattering production of Winter’s Tale at the Tom Patterson Theatre is the best Shakespeare I’ve seen at Stratford – or anywhere else for that matter – in many years…
Winter’s Tale is replete with themes of remorse and loss, of what might have been. The final moment, in which Time appears with the spirit of Leontes’ son, reduced me to tears.
If you are one of those people who “have had enough with Shakespeare,” you owe it to yourself to grab a ticket to Antoni Cimolino’s mesmerizing Winter’s Tale and have your faith restored.”
