No Winter’s Tale reimagines Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale through a climate-changed Intermountain West, a realm where vanishing winters reshape both landscape and lives. Minton’s adaptation preserves the original’s emotional core—jealousy, loss, and eventual reconciliation—while casting these themes into the urgent and fragile context of ecological collapse and renewal. It’s a deep, artistic fusion of Shakespearean drama with environmental science and hope. Written and adapted by Gretchen E. Minton (Professor of English, Montana State University; co-founder of Montana InSite Theatre) Presented by Dr. Gretchen Minton and Montana State University Center for Science, Technology, Ethics, and Society (C-STES).
