Prospero, a duke in exile, rules an island bound by nameless seas and violent storms.

Seething a desire to exact vengeance on his usurper brother, Antonio, Prospero finds himself stranded with that same brother, conflicted by a choice of forgiveness or retribution.

From such furious beginnings erupts Shakespeare’s magical journey, The Tempest, a delightful tale of cavorting spirits, love and loss, reconciliation and mercy.

John Bell celebrates Bell Shakespeare’s 25th anniversary, and his final production with the company, by undertaking this enchanting tale. A superb cast, led by Brian Lipson, will capture the lightness and beauty of one of Shakespeare’s last and greatest works.
