Watch a modern production from the Bard with The Tempest tickets. Joe Dowling, the former Artistic Director of the Guthrie has come back as director for a new take on William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Shakespeare wrote the play between 1610-1611. It is thought to be one of the final ones he wrote by himself. 

In Shakespeare’s play, the lead character is Prospero, the rightful duke of Milan who has been isolated with his daughter on an island and creates a terrible storm that washes several people ashore, including his brother Antonio, who imprisoned Prospero on the island. 

See an excellent show with The Tempest tickets. The first recorded performance of The Tempest was on November 1, 1611, at the Royal Court at Whitehall Palace by Shakespeare’s acting company The King’s Men for King James I. The play has been adapted many times, including more than 45 operas based on the play. A notable movie adaptation is the 1956 science fiction movie Forbidden Planet, directed by Fred M. Wilcox and starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis and Leslie Nielsen.

Dowling has cast a female actor for the role of the sorcerer, affording the production an opportunity to explore the mother-daughter relationship of Prospera and uncover new insights.
