East West Presents The Tempest

On an island somewhere far away from here and now lives the exiled Duke of Milan Prospero, his daughter, a spirit, and a half-human beast. Fate and destiny come together to bring Prosperoís enemies to this magical island where revenge, desire, love and forgiveness all work to bring a wronged man back to humanity. Acclaimed Shakespearean director Andrew Tsao will blend Eastern and Western techniques in movement, costumes and music to create a hip, young, sexy production of one of Shakespeareís most mythic and abstract theatrical renderings.
