In this powerful tale of jealousy, hope, and redemption, King Leontes of Sicilia wrongly accuses his wife, Queen Hermione, of infidelity, setting in motion a sweeping chain of events that affect not only his prosperous kingdom, but also the distant, pastoral land of Bohemia. Years later, through a series of chance encounters, surprising twists, and a little magic, secrets are overturned and the truth is revealed, celebrating the enduring power of true love.
