Wintertime

Charles Mee\u27s Wintertime is an unusual piece, one of his re-creations of ancient plays. Mee believes firmly that nothing is original - Shakespeare borrowed from the Greeks, modern entertainment borrows from Shakespeare. He pulls together disparate elements from past theatrical works and meshes them with contemporary aspects, creating a play that is contemporary but never strays from its historical roots. As such, Wintertime is, by Mee\u27s own description, a sweet, dreamy, romantic comedy from the world of The Winter\u27s Tale and The Cherry Orchard and Moliere and Magritte
