| Description |
"Leontes suspects his wife Hermione of adultery with his close friend Polixenes. He has her new-born daughter, Perdita, abandoned on a desolate coast by Antigonus. Hermione is tried and the oracle of Apollo declares her innocence. Leontes must die without an heir unless Perdita is found. Perdita has been raised by a group of shepherds and is in love with one of them, Florizel, who seeks to marry her without the knowledge of his father Polixenes. The couple flee to the court of Leontes; they are married. Hermione, who has been thought dead, is revealed as living and Leontes and Polixenes are reunited." |
