The Elgin Theatre Company will present Shakespeare’s The Tempest at the Elgin Art Showcase from Friday to Sunday, September 12-14, and Friday to Sunday, September 19-21.
The Tempest is William Shakespeare’s final masterpiece, an enchanting blend of comedy, romance, revenge, fantasy, magic and mortality. Director/adapter Jocelyn Adamski brings a lifetime of Shakespeare performance, study and coaching to this story set on a remote island, where Prospero, a magician, lives with his daughter Miranda, and his two servants: Caliban, a savage monster, and Ariel, an airy spirit. Their world is changed when a shipwreck brings family, fools and old betrayals crashing in.
Combining glorious language, music and song, The Tempest is one-of-kind, wondrous play.
Friday and Saturday performances start at 7:30pm and Sunday performances start at 2:00pm.
Tickets start at $25 ($23 for students/seniors) and can be purchased here.
The Elgin Art Showcase is located at 164 Division Street – Eighth Floor in Elgin.
