Cheek by Jowl: The Winter’s Tale

One of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, The Winter’s Tale, though written at the same period as The Tempest, smashes all the rules that The Tempest follows. Unity of time, place and action are hurled aside as we range across Europe, from court to country, from high tragedy to low comedy, across a time span of sixteen years. The Winter’s Tale tells of a delusional and paranoid king who tears his family apart. But this is the new Shakespeare, after he completed his great tragedies, and the tough struggle for redemption yields flickers of hope. Initial darkness gives way to joy as Time leads the characters to a shattering conclusion…

Directed by Declan Donnellan, Cheek by Jowl: The Winter’s Tale brings together a talented cast and crew to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience. With a runtime of 166 minutes, this drama promises to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative and stunning visuals.
