the tempest
by William Shakespeare
June 23 - August 1, 2021
Shakespeare’s magical dark comedy returns to the GRSF stage under the direction of Beth Gardiner. Prospero has been banished from his kingdom and is in exile on a remote island with his daughter, Miranda, and the troublesome Caliban. Prospero’s long-awaited chance for revenge comes on the heels of a terrible storm, and suddenly the island is awash with shipwrecked nobles, all at the mercy of the human and otherworldly inhabitants of this inhospitable and enchanted island.
