A COMEDIE
In 1978, the BBC set itself the task of filming all of William Shakespeare’s plays for television. The resulting productions, renowned for their loyalty to the text, utilised the best theatrical and television directors and brought great performances from leading contemporary actors.

“The silence often of pure innocence,
Persuages when speaking fails.”
Leontes, King of Sicilia becomes convinced that his wife, Hermione, is guilty of adultery with his friend Polixenes, the King of Bohemia. He sends his wife to prison and tries to kill his friend – setting in motion a train of tragic consequences . . .
This stylised production of one of Shakespeare’s most haunting and enigmatic late works revels in its intense conflicts. An excellent cast (including Jeremy Kemp as a magnificent Leontes) highlight the tragic intensity and comic grace of the play.

"If you shall chance, Camillo, to visit Bohemia
on the like occasion whereon my services are now on
foot, you shall see, as I have said, great differences
betwixt our Bohemia and your Sicilia . . ."
Jeremy Kemp & Anna Calder-Marshall
with
Robert Stephens Debbie Farrington
and
Margaret Tyzack
Directed by Jane Howell
Produced by Jonathan Miller
