“I doubt not then but innocence shall make
False accusation blush and tyranny
Tremble at patience…”
When Leontes, King of Sicilia, falsely accuses his wife of an affair with his best friend he sets into motion a series of events that catapult two kingdoms into disarray in William Shakespeare’s sweeping romance of passion and forgiveness.
Director Elizabeth Swain, fresh from Antaeus’ award-winning 2022 production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet brings her vast knowledge of the canon to tackling the timely question, “How do you forgive the unforgivable?”
