Synopsis
MAMILLIUS
A sad tale’s best for winter
I have one of sprites and goblins.
HERMIONE
Let’s hear that, good sir.
Come on; sit down; come on and do your best
To fright me with your sprites
You’re powerful at it.
MAMMILLIUS:
There was a man - Leontes, King of Sicilia, accuses his pregnant queen, Hermione of infidelity with Polixenes, the, King of Bohemia. Polixenes flees and Hermione is imprisoned where she gives birth to a girl which is abandoned to the elements on the orders of Leontes. At her trial, Hermione is declared innocent by the Delphic oracle. Leontes rejects the judgment; his son Mamillius dies and Hermione collapses at the news. Sixteen years pass and the baby Perdita has grown into a young woman having been found and raised by Bohemian Shepard’s. She is wooed by Florizel flees to Sicily and to the court of Leontes with Perdita…
What of her ensues? I list not prophesy; but let Time’s news be known when ‘tis brought forth.
