The Tempest, a play of enduring enchantment, is one of drama’s
richest treasures. Shakespeare’s spellbinding last play and a poignant
farewell to the stage, The Tempest combines love, tragedy, and
comedy in equal measure as the usurped wizard, Prospero, shipwrecks
his enemies on an enchanted island, intent on exacting revenge.
Director Davis McCallum and The Acting Company take Shakespeare’s
magic and mystery, his gorgeous poetry and fascinating characters,
and create the stuff of memorable, mesmerizing theater.
