The Tempest

After last summer’s critically-acclaimed production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream on the historic grounds of the Charles Carroll House, the Annapolis Shakespeare Company (ASC) returns with another timeless Shakespearean classic, The Tempest.  

Widely considered one of Shakespeare's greatest works, The Tempest is a lyrical play that tells the story of Prospero, an exiled duke who lives as the master of an enchanted isle where fantastical creatures, mystery, music and romance abound. A shipwreck delivers Prospero's enemies to the island, and the plot thickens when his beloved daughter falls for the enemy's son. It's a magical tale about the transformative power of forgiveness and the bond between parent and child.
