About The Tempest
Oscar-winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty) directs a formidable transatlantic company of actors in William Shakespeare's The Tempest. The stellar cast features Michelle Beck, Christian Camargo, Stephen Dillane, Ron Cephas Jones, Juliet Rylance and Thomas Sadoski in this magical tale of shipwrecks and sorcery, and loves lost and found. The enchanting tragicomedy The Tempest is William Shakespeare's last play. Prospero, in his eagerness to acquire knowledge and harness magic, loses his dukedom to his brother; in an attempt to reassert supremacy years later, he loses his only daughter to the son of a rival king.
