Gather for a thrilling Family Storytelling performance of Shakespeare’s time-travelling, country-hopping story, The Winter’s Tale, in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
King Leontes of Sicilia and Queen Hermione are happily married. But Leontes grows jealous of his wife’s friendship with the King of Bohemia. The furious king exiles his daughter, Perdita, as punishment and destroys his family.
Sixteen years later, Perdita is a grown woman. Cue a mysterious journey across foreign lands, featuring shepherds, love and a famous bear…
Is there a way that the family can be brought back together? They might need a bit of magic to help them out…
Storytelling performances are led by one of the Globe’s highly experienced practitioners who include actors, teachers and directors.
Recommended for ages 5–12 and their families. All under 18s must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult throughout.
