The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival will perform The Tempest on Saturday, July 30, 2016 at 7:00 PM at the Lakewood Park Bandstand.
THE TEMPEST – Deserted on an island, the rightful Duke of Milan, Prospero, conjures a tempest to shipwreck his usurping brother Antonio and Alonso, King of Naples. Ferdinand, the king’s son, believes all others aboard the ship have drowned. When he meets Prospero’s daughter Miranda, they immediately fall in love. Some of the survivors of the shipwreck conspire with Caliban, Prospero’s beastly slave, to murder Prospero. But it is up to the wrongly banished ruler of Milan who now must decide whether to use his mystic arts to revenge or to forgive.
