The Winter´s tale, one of Shakespeare´s later romantic comedies, offers a strinkg and challenging mixture of tragic and violent events, lyrical love-speeches, farcical comedy, pastoral song and dance, and, eventually, dramatic revelations and reunions. Thematically, there is a rich orchestration of the contrasts between age and youth, corruption and innocence, decline and regeneration. Both Leontes´murderous jealousy and Perdita´s love-relationship with Florizel are eloquently intense. In the theatre. The Winter´s tale often prves to be diversely entertaining and deeply moving.
