The Winter's Tale Re-imagined at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
Overview
Shakespeare's classic tale of jealousy, separation and reconciliation is re-imagined for a family audience at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.
The Winter's Tale tells the story of King Leontes of Sicilia, whose jealousy of the relationship between his wife and the King of Bohemia results in the death of the Queen and the banishment of his only daughter.
Fast forward 16 years, and the King's daughter Perdita, raised by shepherds in the Bohemian Kingdom, falls in love with the Prince of Bohemia. Incensed by her lowly station, the King of Bohemia intervenes and forbids the young lovers to continue their relationship. The pair ignore him and flee to Sicilia with the King in hot pursuit, unaware that they might not be as anonymous in their new country as they would hope.
Will the King recognise his daughter and will true love prevail?
Shakespeare's famous play is being performed at the award-winning Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.
Set in beautiful landscaped grounds, this atmospheric venue is surrounded by trees twinkling with fairy lights. The theatre also boasts its own bar, barbecue and picnic lawn where theatre-goers can set up hampers while enjoying a glass of wine or Pimms.
