If it's the one I'm thinking of, with Robert Stevens as Polixenes, steer well clear.

The Animated Tales version of Winter's Tale is very good if you can get hold of the series. OK, they're all only half an hour long, but worth it anyway.

Oh how I detest The Winter's Tale. Half of it's just gut-wrenching, depressing tragedy, until everyone decides to have a barn dance.

Coriolanus is deeply underrated, however!

It definitely seems to be one of those love-it-or-hate-it plays. I suspect that's at least partly to do with how you first encounter it, and your frame of mind at the time.

And how is this different from real life? ;-)
