August 31, 2024 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Join us this summer for Free Shakespeare in the Park!
Thought to be Shakespeare’s last solo written play, The Tempest tells the tale of a father (Prospero) and daughter (Miranda) set adrift to sea by the jealous machinations of Prospero’s brother.
On an island inhabited with magical creatures, Prospero uses magic to rule the land, until a tempest washes ashore Prospero’s brother and co-conspirators. Complete with clownish shipwrecked sailors, The Tempest explores themes of revenge and forgiveness and asks the audience to find the humanity in all the characters they meet.
Audience: Ages 12 and above. All shows begin at 2 pm and run for 90 minutes with no intermission.
