The Tempest

UR Free Theatre & Dance

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Ashley White

A shipwreck. A deserted island. A magician with unfinished business.

When Prospero conjures a violent storm to bring his enemies ashore, what follows is a spellbinding tale of betrayal, romance, revenge, and ultimately redemption. Filled with mischievous spirits, political intrigue, and one of Shakespeare’s most lyrical passages, The Tempest blurs the line between illusion and reality. At once intimate and epic, The Tempest invites audiences into a world shaped by imagination, where storms reveal truth and forgiveness holds the greatest power of all.

Join us. Let the island transform you.
