Tracy Young offers a new version of Shakespeare’s difficult tale
of jealousy and redemption.  The Winter’s Tale is one of
Shakespeare’s most challenging explorations of redemption and
rebirth. Driven by extreme jealousy, Leontes, the King of Sicily,
accuses his wife Hermione of infidelity and orders his newborn
daughter to be abandoned. Sixteen years later, Leontes must reckon
with the consequences of his rash decisions. Tracy Young’s
version of The Winter’s Tale transforms the theatergoing
experience from Shakespeare’s time to ours. This translation
updates Shakespeare’s language, wordplay, and wit to engage
audiences the way they would have been engaged in the early modern
theater. This translation of The Winter’s Tale was written as
part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project, which
commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays.
These translations present work from “The Bard” in language
accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of
Shakespeare’s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse
group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges
from diverse backgrounds, this
project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first
century. These volumes make these works available for the first
time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.
First Communion is an important experience for a Roman Catholic
child. "A Little Guide to First Communion" is a delightfully
illustrated story written to give children a preview of what's
involved and provide adult readers with helpful tips for the
occasion.
