Love is the most potent magic of all
The Tempest
By William Shakespeare
Directed by George Mount
June 4 – 28, 2009
Enter a world of illusion and magic where a wronged sorcerer manipulates both spirits and humans in his quest for revenge. Deposed of his dukedom and sent into exile, Prospero uses his powers to draw his enemies to his enchanted island to wreak vengeance. Ultimately he discovers that love and forgiveness work the most potent magic of all.
Often seen as the playwright’s farewell to the theatre world, Shakespeare’s The Tempest conjures a world of innocent lovers, bawdy buffoons, mystical beings, and a spectacular storm that transforms everyone in its path. Featuring Michael Winters as Prospero.
