by The Vortex
Feb. 28 - Mar. 06 (2016)
Be among the first to experience this brand new adaptation of a Shakespearean classic, adapted by Lorella Loftus with aerial acts directed by Andy Agne.
This drama is one of the great comedy plays by William Shakespeare. The themes illustrated in the play are freedom, friendship , repentance and forgiveness and feature different temperaments illustrating temperance and intemperance. The plot starts when King Alonso of Naples and his entourage sail home for Italy after attending his daughter's wedding in Tunis, Africa. They encounter a violent storm, the Tempest. Everyone jumps overboard and all are washed ashore on a strange island inhabited by the magician Prospero who has deliberately conjured up the storm.
