The Tempest at Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Prospero's illusory island sets the stage for CST's first collaboration on a Shakespeare adaptation with Redmoon—carved out by three actors, a menagerie of handcrafted puppets, original music and hypnotic animations. Possibilities abound in this original Chicago Shakespeare commission based on The Tempest, in which Ariel and Caliban sit down at their captor's dinner table to assert their independence and petition for freedom.
