The Tempest (Actors From The London Stage)- Oct. 10 at Little Theatre, Philathea Hall – Winona Lake, IN

Blending romantic machinations, political scheming, and more than a bit of magic, Shakespeare’s The Tempest continues to resonate with audiences everywhere. Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, is stranded on an island with his daughter, Miranda. Possessing magic powers, Prospero conjures a storm to expose his brother, Antonio, and King Alonso, who had him deposed. As Miranda falls in love with Alonso’s son Ferdinand, Prospero’s quest to reestablish his power leads him to a compelling dilemma: whether to destroy or forgive his enemies. Experience a satisfying evening of theater highlighting the text’s brilliance while showcasing the actors’ chameleon-like skill. Actors From The London Stage’s minimalist and imaginative take on The Tempest requires just five actors who rotate roles and build entire worlds with simple props, capturing the humor, magic, and power struggles of one of the Bard’s final plays.
