The cast is completed by Zora Bishop, Becci Gemmell, Luke MacGregor, Jordan Metcalfe and Rose Wardlaw.

The Winter's Tale is one of Shakespeare's problem plays, filled with psychological drama as a family war it out. The Globe production is designed by James Perkins with composition by Isobel Waller-Bridge.

Directed by Blanche McIntyre, the piece continues artistic director Michelle Terry's first season at the South Bank venue. The season also includes a production of Othello, directed by Claire van Kampen and featuring André Holland in the title role alongside Mark Rylance as Iago.
