Leontes's rage must be induced by Hermione's playful (although to him seemingly important) jesting with Polixenes. As a queen well-schooled in the blandishments of courtly love, Lynn Milgrim's beguiling ways seem just flirtatious enough to arouse a suspicious husband. And if in the ensuing scenes, her composed fragility helps to set off the cruelty of the king, so Peter MacLean's strong and noble Polixenes offers a striking contrast as well...

The Ghost's entrances and exits are well handled in all three of his scenes, but his speech is too fast and impassioned, and lacks dignity...
