Day #22: An Underrated Play
I consider most of the so-called "Problem Plays" less out and out problematic than several of the more regularly canonized plays (see yesterday re: Merchant and Othello) In particular, I think Winter's Tale is quite underdone, as well as Troilus & Cressida.

I have actually seen a production of A Winter's Tale. About ten years ago, a theatre company in Olympia, WA. There aren't any pictures on their site (or I would link) which is a shame because it was a lovely, very simple production.

It was great to see a play that it's done very often. It gets to stand on its own a little more and make more of an impact.
