The Tempest by William Shakespeare A raging storm forces a disparate band of shipwrecked survivors onto the enchanted shores of a magical island, and so begins Shakespeare's spellbinding play, The Tempest . One of the last and most intricate works of Shakespeare, The Tempest examines human behavior as it strives for utopia. Set in a beguiling metaphoric world, the magician Prospero skillfully manipulates three groups of lost travelers as they plot and conspire for supremacy of the island. Covering the universal themes of love, enslavement, greed, and murder, Shakespeare weaves a marvelous dramatic web linking the strands of what defines us as human. Aquila's highly original and imaginative production of The Tempest will unify superb theatrical skill with the poignancy, verve, and grace of Shakespeare's beautiful language to delight audiences with one of Shakespeare's truly great plays.
