The Tempestby William Shakespeare; dir. David Hensley
August 15-25, 2024
The Tom S. Gettys Center, Downtown Rock Hill, SC
Prospero, a powerful magician and rightful Duke of Milan, lives in exile on a remote island with only his daughter Miranda, the spirit Ariel, and the monstrous Caliban as companions. When his usurping brother Antonio sets sail with the King of Naples and their companions, Prospero conjures a powerful storm and the group is shipwrecked on his island. As the castaways navigate the mysterious island, they must contend with Prospero and Ariel's magical tricks, clumsy plots of betrayal and murder, and old wounds coming to the surface. Romance blossoms, alliances are tested, and forgiveness beckons. Don't miss one of Shakespeare's most iconic "problem plays", blending comedy and drama in a spellbinding, seafaring adventure. |
