Octagon Theatre Bolton and the University of Bolton present Shakespeare’s epic The Winter’s Tale, marking the 400th anniversary of the playwright’s death.

Families and friendships are torn apart when King Leontes is tormented by a paranoid delusion that his wife, Hermione, is having an affair with his best friend.

With song, dance, laughter and one of the most extraordinary climaxes Winter’s Tale will be performed by an cast of 15.

In the leading role is Rob Edwards, currently playing Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird at the Octagon. Hermione, the accused wife, will be played by Amy Nuttall, who has had many on-screen roles.

The play is from October 21 to November 5.
