The Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s “late
plays.” It tells the story of a king whose jealousy results
in the banishment of his baby daughter and the death of his
beautiful wife. His daughter is found and brought up by a
shepherd on the Bohemian coast, but through a series of
extraordinary events, father and daughter, and eventually
mother too, are reunited.
In The Gap of
Time, Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of The
Winter’s Tale, we move from London, a city reeling after
the 2008 financial crisis, to a storm-ravaged American city
called New Bohemia. Her story is one of childhood
friendship, money, status, technology and the elliptical
nature of time. Written with energy and wit, this is a story
of the consuming power of jealousy on the one hand, and
redemption and the enduring love of a lost child on the other.
