Director Ryan Rilette backs Shakespeare's seldom-seen tale of jealousy and reconciliation with live music by members of the rock band Junior Fudge. Two songs in the play as well as several other expository passages are set to a rock-beat(listen to the CD), adding fire to this story of a King who destroys all he holds dear in a fit of jealous rage. The Winter's Tale stars Chris Edwards (A Midsummer Night's Dream) as Leontes and Roxanne Raja (Hecuba w/ Olympia Dukakis) as Hermione.
