This Summer, Classics on the Rocks will be performing their 5th annual mainstage production, The Winter's Tale. The elements are familiar - a mad king, consuming jealousy, pastoral comedic festivities, disguises, and star-crossed lovers. But the story continues to surprise us, with its twists and turns from tragedy to comedy, from winter to spring, from life ended to life reborn.
A chronicle of jealousy, loss, and finding your way back home - Winter's Tale is an interesting romp through every human emotion.
Performing at the Alchemical Theatre Laboratory (104 W.14th Street, Third Floor, NYC) on July 20, 21, 27, 28 at 7pm and July 29 at 5pm.

About Classics on the Rocks:
Shakespeare doesn't have to be complicated and it's our mission at Classics on the Rocks to make classical theatre accessible, exciting, palatable, and fun for everyone - whether you're brand new to Shakespeare or have read the canon cover to cover.
At Classics on the Rocks, we believe that just as whiskey doesn't need anything more than rocks to tame it's bite. Shakespeare doesn't need fancy concepts, modernizations, frilly costumes, or big sets to make it relatable. All you need are talented actors who trust the text and tell the story. It's classics served simply on the rocks.
