A romantic drama with strong comedic elements, The Winter's Tale is, at its essence, a mesmerizing commentary on both the destructive and redemptive powers of love. Stark Naked Theatre Company's minimalist production, directed by Philip Lehl, features a talented ensemble cast that includes Tawny Stephens (Hermione), Jeff McMorrough (Camillo), Luis Galindo (Polixenes), Mike Sims (Autolycus), Courtney Lomelo (Paulina), Matt Lents (Florizel) and Shunte Lofton (Perdita).

The production promises to strip away non-essential layers, thereby emphasizing Shakespeare's text, and allowing the actors — as well as the audience — to be truly immersed in the Bard's timeless storytelling.
