A novelist goes to an empty winter chateau.

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is mourning the death of his father the king and is disturbed by how quickly his mother Gertrude has moved on.

Courtship or conquest? The breakdown of a defiant spirit or a breakthrough that liberates a heart deprived of love? The Stratford Festival production of Shakespeare’s boisterous comedy will stir your emotions with the love story of Katherina and Petruchio, the feisty couple at the centre of this fierce and funny battle of wills.
