My mission is to read every Shakespeare play before I turn eighteen, and that means going to thrift shops and finding plays or sonnets I have never heard before.
I picked The Winter’s Tale as:
- I love winter.
- It was the cheapest Shakespeare play available.
If you know me, I’m not a huge fan of infidelity or anything that has something to do with that, but I had to give it a try. And it was amazing. The first three acts were my absolute favorite because I love an action punch. The last two acts were also good, but not as good.

Moderate: Domestic abuse, Gore, and Infidelity
