from Mamillius' "A sad tale's best for winter: I have one/Of sprites and goblins." to the end of the scene

Anna Calder-Marshall ... Hermione
Jeremy Dimmick ... Mamillius
Jeremy Kemp ... Leontes
Cyril Luckham ... Antigonus

extract from the Dedicatory Epistle to the ancient tradgedy of "Tancred and Gismund":

And now that weary winter is come upon us, which bringeth with him drooping days and tedious nights, if it be true that the motions of our minds follow the temperature of the air wherein we all live, then I think the perusing of some mourniful matter tending to the view of a notable example, will refresh your wits in a gloomy day, and ease your weariness of the lowering night.

  • @Xenu wow the second that he said that i read youre comment

  • 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.

  • WAIT - Do you have the entire play uploaded???

  • 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.
