Shakespeare's 'Winter's Tale' Ends Year In Madison

MADISON, NJ - Winter may have just begun but the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey is concluding its 56th season with Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” Sunday.

The show directed by Shakespeare Theatre Artistic Director Bonnie J. Monte.

“Nothing could be more perfect for the holiday season than this wintry and passionate romance,” Monte said. “High drama launches the tale and propels it into a world of bohemian pastoral gaiety. A stunning denouement of magical rebirth and a moving reunion bring the play to its conclusion — one that embodies the spirit of the holidays and what they represent at their core. ‘The Winter’s Tale’ is a perfect holiday show for the family.”

Tickets for “The Winter’s Tale” range from $49 to $69.

The Shakespeare Theatre is continuing its "30 Under 30” program for the 2018 season. Patrons 30 and younger can purchase tickets for only $30 with a valid ID, subject to availability.
