Winter's Tale
A jealous king, an abandoned daughter, a prince hopelessly in love.
Shakespeare's timeless tragicomedy of obsession and redemption is reimagined in a new production co-directed by Rob Ashford and Kenneth Branagh.
It was performed as part of the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company's Plays at the Garrick Season in 2015, starring Judi Dench and Kenneth Branagh.
This official tie-in edition features the version of Shakespeare's text performed in the production, plus exclusive additional content including an introduction to the play, interviews with Kenneth Branagh, Rob Ashford, Judi Dench, Michael Pennington and composer Patrick Doyle, and extracts from the original score.
