Robin Williams, Ph.D. No experience necessary, and no “acting” involved! Robin leads close reads of Shakespeare’s plays, making sure we understand every line. We discover surprising levels of the plays, and explore Shakespeare’s remarkable ability to expose emotions and intentions that are not on the surface.  www.iReadShakespeare.org

The Winter’s Tale is a beautiful, disturbing, and charming play with plot lines of terrible tragedy and antic comedy. It begins with a royal marriage gone wrong, the horrifying madness of King Leontes, and seemingly irreparable consequences, shifting abruptly to music and foolery and a potentially tragic pastoral love story. The two parts come together in an astonishing end.
