The Tempest

It’s a happy coincidence that Theatre Unbound’s all-female version of The Tempest opens on the heels of the all-male “original practices” production of Measure for Measure by Shakespeare’s Globe Theater company, which is a guest of the Guthrie for this presentation. We’re waiting on the edges of our seats to see what these talented actresses do with Caliban, the deformed, bestial slave boy. The Tempest is a fantastical, supra-human play, richly layered with spirits, magic, young love, and, of course, spellbinding prose. 2301 E.
