The Tempest

First, we brought you fairies and spells, then we brought you witches and prophecies. For our third Youth Shakespeare Trunk Show, we round out the Bard’s trio of tales of fantastical creatures. When the powerful sorcerer Prospero conjures a violent storm which crashes his enemy’s ship, the worlds of men, monsters, and spirits collide. Out for revenge for his usurped dukedom, Prospero seeks to punish his enemies with the help of his island of supernatural beings. But when his daughter Miranda falls in love with his enemy’s son, the sorcerer must decide which is the mightier power… vengeance or forgiveness. With the help of our trusty trunk, lots of imagination, and a dash of magic, we’ll bring this accessible version of Shakespeare’s final play to life with “such stuff as dreams are made on!”
