Sorry, Most Sorry: An Adaptation of The Winter’s Tale for Young Audiences

Some stories begin with “once upon a time.” Ours begins with a king who lets jealousy steal everything he loved. Years later, it will take two determined sisters, a stolen bear, and the power of a heartfelt apology to set things right.

Sorry, Most Sorry is a playful, heart-filled retelling of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, crafted especially for young audiences. This quick and engaging 30-minute performance is perfect for families, school groups, and anyone curious about Shakespeare’s world.

This special event features a dedicated cast engaged specifically for this production. It is presented outside of our mainstage season, so you can enjoy a unique, one-of-a-kind performance designed with young audiences in mind.

Join us for a magical day at the Blackfriars Playhouse, where stories come to life and every audience is part of the adventure.
Written and adapted by Devlin Ford (Shenandoah Children’s Theatre).
