"O brave new world that has such people in't!"
The Tempest, Shakespeare’s supernatural tale of love, family, and revenge comes to surprising life in this boisterous, highly physical production. In a fast-paced adaptation both funny and ferocious, the next generation will have the chance to explore their own definition of justice and consider the responsibility of those who wield power.
