Director Patricia Miller and her student ensemble bring intense emotion, live music and plenty of bears to the forthcoming UC Davis production of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, according to the Department of Theatre and Dance Web site.
Miller, a Master of Fine Arts candidate who directed last year’s Nights at the Cirucs, is presenting The Winter’s Tale as “a unique physical theater production.”
The Winter’s Tale expresses themes of grief, redemption, and the healing potential of nature’s cycles and time, in a story of a privileged family torn apart by a patriarch’s possessive rage, the theatre and dance Web site states.
