THE TEMPEST


By William Shakespeare

Directed by Antoni Cimolino


The storm is only the beginning 

On an enchanted island, a deposed duke uses his magical powers to conjure a storm at sea, bringing him face to face with the brother who betrayed him. As old quarrels are resolved, love blossoms for a new generation.

For the performances on Friday, June 26 and Tuesday, August 11, the role of Prospero will be played by Ben Carlson.
