Tempest
by William Shakespeare
Few plays serve as a more poignant conclusion to a playwrights career than Shakespeares The Tempest. This enchanting tale follows the aging sorcerer and rightful Duke of Milan, Prospero, as he navigates life on a remote island filled with magic and haunting melodies, alongside the resentful slave Caliban. When an unexpected opportunity arises to reclaim his tarnished reputation, Prospero conjures a powerful storm, stranding a ship carrying his treacherous brother and the King of Naples—both responsible for his exile from Milan twelve years prior. With the aid of the ethereal spirit Ariel, Prospero embarks on a quest to right the wrongs of the past, ultimately preparing to relinquish his magic forever. Featuring some of Shakespeares most stirring speeches and a masterful command of the Neoclassical unities of time, place, and action, The Tempest stands as a formidable and moving farewell to both the Bard and his timeless legacy. Join our talented cast—Craig Franklin, Tomas Peter, Brad H
