Abstract
This romance revolves around a theme that occupied Shakespeare later in life: reconciliation. Wrongs committed by one generation - here a wife unjustly accused of adultery - are made right by the next generation. Starring Jeremy Kemp, Anna Calder-Marshall, Debbie Farrington and Margaret Tyzack. Plot: King Leontes unjustly accuses his wife Hermione of adultery with King Polixenes. He imprisons Hermione, who falls into a swoon he believes is death, and orders her infant daughter to be abandoned on the shore. Sixteen years later, their daughter falls in love with Polixenes's son and when they come to Leontes' kingdom, her identity is revealed. Leontes and Polixenes become friends again, and Hermione is found to be alive after all.
