Shakespeare in Riverside Park: The Tempest June 5, 2009

Join Hudson Warehouse, the Other Shakespeare in the Park, for their production of The Tempest, a classic Shakespeare play.

The magician Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, and his daughter, Miranda, have been stranded for 12 years on an island after Prospero’s jealous brother Antonio deposed him and set him adrift at sea. Possessed of magic powers due to his great learning, Prospero, having divined that his brother, Antonio, is on a ship passing close by the island, has raised a tempest which causes the ship to run aground. In the conclusion, all the main characters are brought together before Prospero, who forgives them, and all return to Naples, including Prospero and Miranda.
