The Tempest - Opens September, 2024!
Officially opening on Saturday, September 21st, 2024 is director Tristan Brandon's adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Tempest with Idle Muse Theatre Company! With plays on gender roles and multiple actors for one character, this show promises to be unlike any rendition of The Tempest you've ever seen before!
"William Shakespeare's final full-length theatrical work, The Tempest, tells of a faraway island where magic, illusion and spirits run wild—where a usurped noble and his daughter, banished by betrayal, endure out of sight of society. When a magical tempest brings a royal ship to the island's shores, schemes for vengeance and justice unfold alongside fantastical happenings, new love, and just maybe…forgiveness."
