The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare published in the First Folio of 1623. Although it was grouped among the comedies, many modern editors have relabelled the play as one of Shakespeare's late romances; some critics consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays" because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending. The play has been intermittently popular, revived in productions in various forms and adaptations by some of the leading theatre practitioners in Shakespearean performance history, beginning after a long interval with David Garrick in his adaptation Florizel and Perdita; the Winter's Tale was revived again in the 19th century, when the fourth "pastoral" act was popular. In the second half of the 20th century, The Winter's Tale in its entirety, drawn from the First Folio text, was performed, with varying degrees of success. Following a brief setup scene the play begins with the appearance of two childhood friends: Leontes, King of Sicilia, Polixenes, the King of Bohemia.

Polixenes is visiting the kingdom of Sicilia, is enjoying catching up with his old friend. However, after nine months, Polixenes yearns to return to his own kingdom to tend to affairs and see his son. Leontes attempts to get Polixenes to stay longer, but is unsuccessful. Leontes decides to send his wife, Queen Hermione, to try to convince Polixenes. Hermione agrees and with three short speeches is successful. Leontes is puzzled as to how Hermione convinced Polixenes so and so he begins to suspect that his pregnant wife has been having an affair with Polixenes and that the child is Polixenes'. Leontes orders Camillo, a Sicilian Lord, to poison Polixenes. Camillo instead warns Polixenes and they both flee to Bohemia. Furious at their escape, Leontes now publicly accuses his wife of infidelity, declares that the child she is bearing must be illegitimate, he throws her in prison, over the protests of his nobles, sends two of his lords and Dion, to the Oracle at Delphos for what he is sure will be confirmation of his suspicions.

Meanwhile, the queen gives birth to a girl, her loyal friend Paulina takes the baby to the king, in the hopes that the sight of the child will soften his heart. He grows angrier and orders Paulina's husband, Lord Antigonus, to take the child and abandon it in a desolate place. Cleomenes and Dion return from Delphos with word from the Oracle and find Hermione publicly and humiliatingly put on trial before the king, she asserts her innocence, asks for the word of the Oracle to be read before the court. The Oracle states categorically that Hermione and Polixenes are innocent, Camillo is an honest man, that Leontes will have no heir until his lost daughter is found. Leontes shuns the news, refusing to believe it as the truth; as this news is revealed, word comes that Leontes' son, has died of a wasting sickness brought on by the accusations against his mother. At this, Hermione falls in a swoon, is carried away by Paulina, who subsequently reports the queen's death to her heartbroken and repentant husband.

Leontes vows to spend the rest of his days atoning for the loss of his son, his abandoned daughter, his queen. Antigonus, abandons the baby on the coast of Bohemia, reporting that Hermione appeared to him in a dream and bade him name the girl Perdita, he leaves a fardel by the baby containing gold and other trinkets which suggest that the baby is of noble blood. A violent storm appears, wrecking the ship on which Antigonus arrived, he wishes to take pity on the child, but is chased away in one of Shakespeare's most famous stage directions: "Exit, pursued by a bear." Perdita is rescued by a shepherd and his son known as "Clown." "Time" announces the passage of sixteen years. Camillo, now in the service of Polixenes, begs the Bohemian king to allow him to return to Sicilia. Polixenes refuses and reports to Camillo that his son, Prince Florizel, has fallen in love with a lowly shepherd girl: Perdita, he suggests to Camillo that, to take his mind off thoughts of home, they disguise themselves and attend the sheep-shearing feast where Florizel and Perdita will be betrothed.

At the feast, hosted by the Old Shepherd who has prospered thanks to the gold in the fardel, the pedlar Autolycus picks the pocket of the Young Shepherd and, in various guises, entertains the guests with bawdy songs and the trinkets he sells. Disguised and Camillo watch as Florizel and Perdita are betrothed. Tearing off the disguise, Polixenes angrily intervenes, threatening the Old Shepherd and Perdita with torture and death and ordering his son never to see the shepherd's daughter again. With the aid of Camillo, who longs to see his native land again and Perdita take ship for Sicilia, using the clothes of Autolycus as a disguise, they are joined in their voyage by his son who are directed there by Autolycus. In Sicilia, Leontes is still in mourning. Cleomenes and Dion plead with him to end his time of repentance. Paulina, convinces the king to remain unmarried forever since no woman can match the greatness of his lost Hermione. Florizel and Perdita arrive, they are greeted effusively by Leontes.

Florizel pretends to be on a diplomatic mission from his father, but his cover is blown when Polixenes and Camillo, arrive in Sicilia. The meeting and reconciliation of the kings and princes is reported by gentlemen of the Sicilian court: how the Old

Jonah Sithole was a Zimbabwean guitarist and composer, known for the mbira-inspired style known as mbira-guitar or chimurenga music. Jonah Sithole was born in the province of Masvingo and grew up in the mining town of Zvishavane, where his older brother worked as a miner as well as a musician for the mining camp band. Jonah first picked up the guitar as a twelve-year-old; when his brother was at work, he would play his guitar, imitating the sounds that his brother practiced around the house. Jonah moved to Bulawayo, where he attended Mpopoma High School until he was expelled in 1969, when he was a form 2 student. By he was a decent guitar and bass player, so he followed his brother to Kwekwe and convinced him to admit him to his band, the Jairosi Jiri Kwela Kings, as a bass player. A few months in 1970, the band got a bar contract in Mbare and became known as the Delphans. Jonah became the band's rhythm guitarist; when the Delphans got a contract to play in Gweru, Jonah decided to remain in Harare with the purpose of starting his own band.

In 1971, just three months into his first stint as a bandleader, he was approached by Jackson Phiri, leader of the Limpopo Jazz Band, a soukous outfit, to be their guitarist. The Lipopo Jazz Band was anxious to break into the competitive bar music scene by having a band members who could sing in the local languages. While with the Limpopo Jazz Band, Jonah learned to play Congolese rumba guitar styles, he was enthralled by the guitar stylings of rumba Franco Luambo, but he began developing the more traditional mbira inspired guitar sound for the Shona songs. In 1974, the Lipopo Jazz Band recorded the song Ndozvireva, an adaptation of the mbira song Taisireva. Together with the Hallelujah Chicken Run band's Ngoma Yarira and the M. D. Success's Kumntongo, the song was one of the first to transcribe mbira progressions onto guitar. Soon after that, the foreign members of the Lipopo Jazz Band were deported, Jonah found himself playing with a slew of hotel bands with no names: “Most of these bands did not have names.

They just had contracts. They belonged to that place. It's only now people realize it's important to have names.”Jonah played a short stint with the Great Sounds, another outfit that specialized in Congolese rumba, before moving to Mutare in 1974 to play with the Pepsi Combo. Jonah suggested a name change to Vibrations and Drifters, they played at the Zimunya Hotel, just outside Mutare for about a year before the band moved to Harare determined to land a performing contract. He approached the owner of the Jamaica Inn, located just outside Harare, but a vocalist without a band, Thomas Mapfumo fired from the Hallelujah Chicken Run Band, had talked his way into a contract and use of the hotel musical kit. Since Jonah had a band but no contract or equipment, the two decided to join forces, they performed together at the Jamaica Inn for about two months until they were approached by a Harare businessman to perform at the Mushandira Pamwe Nightclub in Highfield, Harare. At this time and Mapfumo were playing an "afro-rock" rather than the mbira-based style for which they were to become famous.

After about three months, Jonah was muscled out of the group, but a few months he used his influence with a new nightclub owner to rejoin Thomas Mapfumo and form the Blacks Unlimited. That year, financial difficulties forced Jonah to part ways with the Blacks Unlimited, after a second stint with the Great Sounds, he moved back to Mutare and formed a new band, The Storm. In 1977, with The Storm, Jonah released his first single Sabhuku, which showcased Jonah's unique approach to the mbira-guitar style, it was during the period from 1976-77 that Jonah started specializing in mbira music. It was the authenticity of his chimurenga sound that prompted Thomas Mapfumo to disband his Acid Jazz and approach Jonah in 1978 to reform the Blacks Unlimited. Jonah Sithole played guitar on Thomas Mapfumo's first album, Hokoyo! Although he was not part of the Acid Band; as Thomas and Jonah moved towards a more mbira-based repertoire, Thomas felt that Leonard Chiyangwa was not improving enough in this new style because his heavy drinking left him struggling with the hours of rehearsal.

Leonard Chiyangwa was dismissed from the Blacks Unlimited as a consequence. Jonah played with Thomas Mapfumo and The Blacks Unlimited until 1981, during this period the two teamed up to craft some of the most inspired songs of the chimurenga genre, including such classics as Pfumvu Paruzevha, Shumba, Chitima Cherusununguko, Bhutsu Mutandarika, Chauya Chiruzevha and Chipatapata, it was during this period that Thomas Mapfumo was incarcerated for three months by the Ian Smith regime for his subversive lyrics. Jonah managed to keep the band going by taking over the lead vocal duties and recruiting a young guitar prodigy by the name of Ashton “Sugar” Chiweshe into the band. In 1981, Jonah Sithole left the Blacks Unlimited to pursue a career as band leader with Deep Horizon.. His highlight single during that time was Kana Ndaguta. In May 1985, Thomas Mapfumo was preparing to embark on his first European tour, he asked Jonah to rejoin the Blacks Unlimited. Jonah stayed with the Blacks Unlimited until 1989, this period saw him evolving his mbira-guitar sound to unreached heights.
