The Winter's Tale in London
Starring:
Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh
The Winter's Tale – Shakespeare with that magical Branagh touch
We're proud to introduce the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company, brand new creators of fine theatre responsible for a total of five remarkable plays on stage at the Garrick theatre between autumn 2015 and late 2016.
The play was first published in 1623. Some experts think it's a comedy. Some believe it's a romance. Others feel it's a 'problem play', which first reveals a host of issues then, in later acts, presents solutions and delivers a happy ending. Either way it's a brilliant piece and Branagh and company are bound to make a splendid job of it. With him at the helm, quality comes guaranteed.
If you love William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, adore great acting and appreciate the talents of two of Britain's best-loved stage stars, Dame Judi Dench and Kenneth Branagh, you'll never forget this very special production of a timeless classic.
This new production is co-directed by Rob Ashford and Kenneth Branagh. The talented pair's collaboration on Macbeth bodes well for this latest adventure into the wonders of Shakespeare, generating excellent reviews in Manchester, UK and New York, USA.
This epic play has been covered countless times over the centuries. And as soon as movies were invented it took to the silver screen, with 1910 seeing a silent film released. A TV version was screened by the BBC in 1981 and in 2014 choreographer Christopher Wheeldon created a full-length ballet version of the play for the Royal Ballet. Its appeal never dulls.
The Winter's Tale – the story
You'll follow the action and intrigue at King Leontes' court in Sicilia, and his interactions with the King of Bohemia. All is well until complications arise when the Bohemian King and Leontes' wife, the queen, get a bit too friendly on a royal visit.
Eventually there's a trial, at which the magical Oracle of Delphi declares the queen innocent. But King Leonte doesn't want to hear the truth and, in a fit of rage, he banishes her from his kingdom. Their little son Mamillius soon dies of grief.
The queen's newborn baby daughter, Perdita, is rescued from death by a Bohemian shepherd. He raises her a his own daughter... and sixteen years later the story's delayed ending brings happy surprises.

Shame about the second half.Very well done. Everything is top drawer, its just not a great play. Very strong first half, superb. Second half gets a bit silly.

Amazing story & Amazing castUtterly mesmerising performances from the whole cast. In particular, as expected, Brannagh and Dench prove why they are legends of the stage but not to be out done was the wonderful performance of Miranda Raison. Totally compelling and heartfelt. A fantastic production. A must see!

How it's supposed to be done!Flawless acting by the entire cast, not just the leads who were unsurprisingly magnificent. Beautifully staged in a magnificent theatre. You watch the play knowing that it really doesn't get better than this.
