The more pity that fools may not speak wisely what wise men do foolishly. -Touchstone, As You Like It
The Winter's Tale
The King of Sicilia and the King of Bohemia are the best of friends, but when jealousy invades the court of Sicilia the King accuses wife and friend of scandal leading to assumed betrayals, death and despair. Time in the amount of 16 years heals many wounds, but stirs the potential for more controversy as the young Prince of Bohemia falls for a more than fair shepherdess. When the King of Bohemia shows rage toward the match the young lovers flee and find themselves back where we began our tale, in Sicilia, where unknown identities, magical statues and peaceful reunions resolve our wintery tale. Cymbeline
A Midsummer Night's Dream
What is more of a daydream than A Midsummer Night's Dream. Fairy folk mingling with runaway lovers, royal fighting and men turning into donkeys seem to be the rule rather than the acceptions. Twelfth Night
