ABOUT THE SHOW
In William Shakespeare's "THE TEMPEST" (aka "THE TEMPEST featuring Prospera") - Shakespeare’s tale of betrayal, revenge, forgiveness and family, as reimagined with a female-presenting protagonist.
Prospera, deposed Duchess of Milan, uses magical arts to bring within her power the enemies who robbed her of her throne and marooned her on a remote island.
Meanwhile her daughter Miranda encounters humans for the first time in her memory.
"THE TEMPEST" is a play about the discovery of compassion.
It is in finding empathy with her enemies that Prospera discovers her path to freedom and release from her demons.
