The award-winning all-male Propeller Theatre Company presents its new production of The Winter's Tale, Shakespeare's tragicomic tale of a jealous Sicilian king. Attacked by a fit of envy, King Leontes single-handedly brings down everything around him: his family, his kingdom, and himself.  When circumstances conspire to lead him to the truth, he is consumed by guilt and sets in motion a string of events that lead to a miraculous ending. London's The Financial Times hails Propeller's gender-bending interpretation, under the award-winning direction of Edward Hall, as a "marvelous" production.
