The Winter's Tale is one of Shakespeare's late plays and deals with themes which seem to have preoccupied him late in his life, those of guilt and retribution. A king driven mad with morbid jealousy, accuses and convicts his innocent wife with adultery and treason, and orders their new born baby be abandoned on some foreign shore. The kingdom is plunged into chaos, old friends and allies escape abroad. The story is taken up fifteen years later when the wronged and innocent parties are re-united with a king who has since come to his senses and now lives in a state of perpetual grief and regret. In its miraculous final scene, Shakespeare reveals his belief that no matter how horrific our sins, forgiveness is always possible. The RSC's 1998/99 production of THE WINTER'S TALE, performed at the Barbican Theatre, London is presented here for the first time in a complete and un-edited edition. This landmark production was hailed by critics and played to packed houses both in Stratford and London.

24: Season 1 - 8 + Redemption (49 Disc) $272.99 (AUD) | $12.98 (AUD) | $18.99 (AUD) Sometimes it is the things that bind us, that truly set us free. Sybylla Melbyn (Judy Davis) is the eldest daughter of an impoverished New South Wales farming family. Bold and determined, Sybylla dreams of succeeding as an acclaimed writer. But in a time of sexist ignorance and bigotry Sybylla has frequent clashes with procrustean conformists. Though it is her love for the dashing Harry Beacham (Sam Neill) that will truly test her desire to succeed as a writer. As events twist and turn, Sybylla is painfully forced to realise the emotional cost of putting her career over love. Critically acclaimed, winning six AFI Awards, as well as being nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Palm award at the Cannes Film Festival, and Golden Globe Award, My Brilliant Career is a delicate parable of one woman's fight for independence, and the sacrifices of the heart that must be made along the way. | $9.99 (AUD) |
