Craig Wright's play is a reworking of Shakespeare's "A Winter's Tale," one of his late "problem" plays.
The playwright eliminates some characters and provides lots of motives for the husband's unfounded suspicions: He's from the wrong side of the tracks, he's a new father whose child is monopolizing his wife's attention, his business is failing.
Wright provides characters that are almost all unusual and interesting, and every actor is more than equal to the challenges the parts present.
