This performance is an excerpt from Leontes and Paulina Are Very Much Not Dead, a one-act play adapting Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. This new work imagines the titular characters stuck in the unending middle of their story, during their sixteen years of mourning, as they meet at the graves of their loved ones. Each morning, the grieving Leontes and Paulina bicker, reminisce, and find acceptance, slowly becoming unlikely friends—a ritual of grief they undertake daily.
