San Diego Junior Theater-The Tempest
March 28, 2014 - April 6, 2014
$12 – $15The Tempest is set on a remote island, where Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her legitimate place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio’s lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso’s son, Ferdinand. One of Shakespeare’s later plays, The Tempest draws on the themes of magic, illusion, and music.
