Hartford Stage offers “THE WINTER’S TALE” by William Shakespeare ends Sunday. An awe-filled fable of fury and forgiveness. King Leontes, his pregnant wife Hermione, and their young son seem like a perfect royal family — until he’s consumed by the fear his wife has been unfaithful. In a fit of tyrannical rage, he makes dire accusations that destroy all that is precious to him. Sixteen years later a new generation has emerged, and in this time-hopping romance, the idealism of the young and the regrets of the old collide. Shakespeare’s mastery of storytelling is on full display, reminding us that even after a harsh winter, spring will return, if we have faith in each other and ourselves. Tickets $20-$100 at 860-527-5151 or www.hartfordstage.org
