Leigh Woods' portrayal of King Leontes was one excellent feature of this production. He dominates the opening third of the play which centers around the suspected infidelity of his queen Hermoine and his brother King Polixenes of Bohemia. Leontes's jealous rage leads to his wife's execution (only faked as we later discover) and the banishment of her infant child. Perdita, Fair Perdita grows up in the care of simple shepherds, while her father exercises his sins in stern contrition...

...computerized citadels of gleaming cold plastic, the angry cells of student revolutionaries, the frighteningly busy shops of unsmiling L. A. gun merchants, the calmly professional violence of city jail-clearly delimits who stomps and who gets stomped. The bastions of power, Antonioni says, are stagnant, sadistic, and vengefully jealous of youthful vigor. The existential point sounds very much like Ken Kesey's argument that the price of really living in America is death...
