Perdita

Perdita (Kayleandra White) and Florizel (Jonathan Del Palmer) share a quiet, intimate moment in Shakespeare’s romance, The Winter’s Tale.

The story focuses on Pongo and Perdita, two Dalmatians living in London who give birth to 15 Dalmatian puppies.

As a sick Viola started lashing out at her, even as Perdita tried to help, she finally lost her patience.

However, when Perdita opens her sister’s collection of fine gowns and jewellery, intent on selling it, Viola's spirit -- latched to the chest -- chokes her to death.

She was murdered by her little sister Perdita, but was so strong-willed her spirit stuck around inside a chest of dresses and jewellery she'd bequeathed to her daughter.

Wheeldon’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play features British Principals Lauren Cuthbertson and Ryoichi Hirano dancing the parts of Hermione and King Leontes, with Sarah Lamb and Vadim Muntagiro returning to the roles of Perdita and Florizel.

Lionel develops a hatred of the royal family, and Perdita grows to enjoy her isolation from society.

Lionel then drugs and take Perdita on to a ship for England.

Lord Raymond, who came to be renowned for his exploits in a war between Greece and Turkey, has returned to England in search of political position, and soon Perdita and Evadne both fall in love with him.

Perdita, loyal in spite of everything, convinces Lionel to bring her and Clara to Greece to find him.

Perdita soon adjusts to her newfound social position, while Raymond becomes well-beloved as a benevolent administrator.
