The Tempest- Shakespeare on Sugarloaf

THIS IS A FREE EVENT! For 12 years, the exiled Duke Prospero has waited for this moment: Old enemies have sailed too close to his enchanted island, and a mighty storm has forced them ashore. Now it’s time to settle old scores and reclaim his former dukedom for his daughter, Miranda. Aided by supernatural powers, Prospero dispenses justice while overseeing the growing attraction between Miranda and the princely son of one of his foes. In Shakespeare’s romance, sorcery and love transmute vengeance into humility and humanity, making it possible for all to return to a world made new by the power of forgiveness.
This production of "The Tempest" is part of Shakespeare on Sugarloaf, a major initiative of The Scioto Society, Inc. to provide free Shakespeare to Southern Ohio and is presented in part by the Ohio Arts Council.
