The Tempest at QUINTESSENCE THEATRE IN RESIDENCE AT THE SEDGWICK THEATER

Abandoned on an island for twelve years, the magician Prospero conjures up a storm to seek revenge on the sibling who stole his crown. Can these castaways figure out how to let go of their pasts and work together to realize the “brave new world” his daughter Miranda believes possible? William Shakespeare’s titanic fairy tale is the culmination of all the tricks that make his poetry withstand the test of time—a usurped and tortured ruler, a pair of star-crossed lovers, silly but crafty clowns, mischievous lackeys, and a cluster of supernatural creatures. Dive headfirst into the magic of The Tempest!
