About:
A tempestuous storm brings a shipwreck to a remote island, reuniting a rag tag cohort of Dukes, Dons, clowns and villains. Past betrayals, schemes, magic arts, and new love unfurls in this comedy, thought to be one of Shakepeare’s latest written plays.
Director’s Note:
As always, we begin with an invitation. An invitation to let everything you think to be true- take a vacation. Just like in my classes, I’ll encourage you, “Best not to think too much.” Shakespeare gives us the opportunity to challenge our imaginations- and let these spirits work on your imagination. THE TEMPEST begins in chaos. And for the next couple of hours, see how this magic will settle the dust, and what new things can be created when we are forced to reckon with our past, and look forward to our future. So claim this time, delight in the unseen, and only take what you need.
