About This Event

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Prof. Blake Edwards

The Tempest – often regarded as William Shakespeare’s final play – is a culmination of everything that makes him remarkable. An enchanted island somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea plays host to a slew of memorable characters – humans, monsters, and spirits. Inspired by the director’s work with the Hunter Heartbeat Method, eleven actors create and inhabit this island setting, utilizing body and voice to explore themes of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and what it means to be alive.
