'The Winter's Tale'
venue
Derby Playhouse
Dates
4th - 8th March 1997
Director
Alicia Petty
This beautiful production from director Alicia Petty won the Outstanding Achievement Award at the 1997 Eagle Awards for its lavish design by Gavin Ling.
The show was an evocative and lyrical telling of 'The Winter's Tale', one of Shakespeare's great romances, which featured memorable and dynamic performances from its excellent ensemble cast, as well as a vocal cameo from our most celebrated former member - the great Alan Bates - as the Oracle.
