On Wednesday night we live-streamed internationally renowned theatre company Cheek By Jowl's production of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. In case you missed it you can watch back the stream in English, Spanish or French until 7 May. Directed by the award-winning Declan Donnellan, The Winter’s Tale tells of a delusional and paranoid king who tears his family apart. The tough struggle for redemption yields flickers of hope and initial darkness gives way to joy and a shattering conclusion.
