Fishy, Fishy

Synopsis
Audio podcast. First episode of an eight-part radio serialisation of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. Adapted by Catherine Eaton, directed and rendered into modern English verse by Tracy Young. Part of the ‘Play On Shakespeare’ project to create more contemporary and accessible versions of the texts for performance.

1. King Polixenes of Bohemia bids adieu to his childhood friend, King Leontes of Sicilia, after a visit of nine months. Leontes implores him not to leave and prevails on his pregnant wife, Hermione, to persuade him to stay. When Polixenes gives in to Hermione, Leontes goes mad with jealousy and paranoia, convinced that his wife is carrying his best friend’s child, not his own. He orders his top advisor, Camillo, to poison Polixenes.
