THE TEMPEST
by William Shakespeare
Nov. 14-16, 21-23 at 8:00 p.m.
Nov. 17 & 24 at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets: $18. $16, $10
A storm, a shipwreck and a powerful sorceress named Prospera (Prospero) set in motion a story of banishment, betrayal, fantasy and love. Richly appointed with sorcery, romance, and intrigue, director Nancy Saklad’s version of The Tempest combines elements of Elizabethan, Victorian, and SteamPunk styles with a contemporary twist. Several characters switch genders from male to female roles resulting in their gender attributes taking on new meanings and allowing the audience to look at the nature of gender as it relates to positions of power. The Tempest is classic Shakespeare for a contemporary audience.
