THE TEMPEST

by William Shakespeare
directed by Michael Socrates Moran

Miranda, the only daughter of a powerful sorcerer, Prospero, recalls a series of supernatural events on a remote island, where her father once orchestrated a maritime storm, shipwrecking a group of travelers. As the survivors begin to encounter strange enchantments on the island, a larger shared history begins to unfold, revealing old secrets, reigniting a struggle for power, and compelling an unavoidable reckoning with the past.

“The production will frame Shakespeare’s last play as Miranda’s memory so that the play itself becomes a reckoning of both who Prospero is, and of the play itself,” says director Michael Socrates Moran. “As such, we hope the reckoning with this play serves as a reckoning for all of us in our time as we wrestle with questions of re-writing our history, who has power to tell whose story, colonization, and the relevance of Shakespeare itself in contemporary America.”
