The Winter's Tale The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare originally published in the First Folio of 1623.

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.
