The TempestBy William Shakespeare Grades 4 - 12 • $600This romantic drama of epic proportions is set in a unique and impossible world where spirits roam, magic is real, reality is elusive, and illusion abounds. After twelve years marooned on a desert island with his daughter, the deposed duke of Milan must now choose between his desire for revenge and the freedom that can only come with forgiveness. This last play in Shakespeare’s cannon is a meditation on family, love, mercy, and—ultimately—the theatre itself.
