William Shakespeare’s The Tempest

SUU’s Department of Theatre, Dance, and Arts Administration will present William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, a story of magic, betrayal, love, and forgiveness, set on the Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre on October 1, 4, 7, 8, and 9, 2021 at 7:30 p.m.

Peter Sham, director of The Tempest, explains, “For me, this play is filled with magic: the magic of the island, of the air and sky, of the land and water, of a mother’s love, of a daughter’s wonder, of first love, of music and sound, of myth and legend, of betrayal, forgiveness, repentance, and ultimately hope. I believe the ideas and themes of this play have never been timelier than right now, in this tempest in history filled with lost hope and division. I feel we have put together an extraordinary group of artists to tell this story in a powerful and lasting way.”
