Shakespeare in the Ruff brings one of Shakespeare's most transformative plays, The Winter's Tale, to Withrow Park. Part dark fairy-tale, part comedy, The Winter's Tale explores the relationship between repentance and forgiveness in a way that echoes loudly in our modern times. Bring a picnic, meet a neighbour, and experience a summer's night between the trees and beneath the stars.
The Winter's Tale is made possible with generous support from Crow's Theatre.
