THE TEMPEST

by William Shakespeare

Adapted and Directed by Chris Berchild

November 10-13, 2022

ABOUT THE PLAY: Prospero, the former ruler of Milan, has spent many embittered years stranded on an island after being usurped by his ruthless brother. Now, twelve years later, providence is leading this treacherous villain and the rest of his sailing party right toward that very isle and into Prospero’s powerful clutches. Prospero commands the elements to wash his enemies’ ship ashore to his enchanted island, where he plans to alter the fate of all. Have these evil usurpers finally met their match? Old scores are settled, plots are thwarted, romance blooms, comedy ensues, and magic reigns supreme in a land where magic and humanity collide.
