One of Shakespeare’s most romantic and inspiring plays. This is a magical story of love, jealousy, and redemption which builds to a moment of reconciliation and grace that helped redefine for a post reformation world a new concept of forgiveness.

Arts Council – Dr. Sara Beckwith, Chair of the English Department at Duke University and author of “Shakespeare and the Language of Forgiveness” and Kristen Wall of the Center for Conflict Resolution in Washington, discuss the themes of forgiveness in “The Winter’s Tale” and Shakespeare’s last four plays.
