Shakespeare’s Tale of Romance and Renewal
Sep 25 - Oct 11, 2026
Hanna Theatre, Playhouse Square
Run Time: TBD
By William Shakespeare
In a modern verse translation by Tracy Young
In partnership with Play On Shakespeare
The unfounded suspicions of the jealous King Leontes destroy his family, as he imprisons Queen Hermione and casts away their newborn daughter. Years later, the lost princess, raised in Bohemia, falls in love with a prince and returns to the kingdom she has never known, bringing hope, renewal and a chance to restore what was lost. In a story of heartbreak and healing, betrayal gives way to forgiveness, and love miraculously rebuilds what had been broken.
