Maybe it was the great resemblance between King Leontes and Henry VIII of England but this version of the play seems to me a as a mixture of Pericles, Prince of Tyre and the second part of Henry VIII: The allusions are pretty obvious; the stern king thinking his wife unfaithful, the innocent queen being brought to public trial and the cast away daughter as the heiress to the realm; it is likely that Shakespeare does allude to Elizabeth and her father, considering his praise of her in Henry VIII.
Some of the greatest Shakespearean verse lies within this play. My faves are Leontes: Give me the boy, I am glad you did not nurse him: Though he does bear som signs of me, yet you Have too much blood in him. Leontes: Bear the boy hence, he shall not come about her, Away with him! And let her sport herself With that she's big with - for 'tis Polixenes Has made thee swell thus. Sheer brilliance.
Wow, this looks like a great production. I own another production but wish I had this one now. I love Anna Calder-Marshall. The cast looks to be first class. Thanks for posting this.
