The Tempest
Williams Theatre
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Jeff Casazza
This fairy-tale romance/comedy begins when a violent and terrifying storm wrecks a ship and scatters the passengers throughout a mysterious, magical island, filled with spirits and witches. Among the passengers is Alonso, the King of Naples and his son Ferdinand. Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, has been stranded on this island for years after his brother tried to drown him and his daughter Miranda, Ferdinand’s love interest. Amid a grappling for control of the island, Alonso’s drunken butler and scaredy-cat court jester must deal with Caliban – a half man half witch and rightful heir of the island. Eventually Ferdinand and Miranda are married, and all wrongs are righted in true Shakespearean fashion. Rated G.
