Masks Recommended, No Longer Required for Wirtz Center Audiences
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Manna-Symone Middlebrooks
Trickery and magic, romance, and revenge set the stage for one of Shakespeare’s late masterpieces, The Tempest, in which sprites, goddesses, and fools hold court. Prospero, the deposed Duke of Milan and now a powerful magician, raises a great storm to wreck the vessel-bearing betrayers on the shores of the mysterious island Prospero has made home. There, attended upon by Miranda, Prospero’s child, a magical sprite, and a villainous prisoner, Prospero leads them through a mysterious dream on a course from vengeance to reconciliation.
The performance runs approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes including one 15 minute intermission.
Recommended for ages 10 and up
