The Tempest
Edgewood College-The Stream 1000 Edgewood College Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53711
media release: Shakespeare’s most original play of magic, betrayal, love, revenge, forgiveness, romance and a bit of social justice, this classic tale brings the poetry of the bard to life. First presented in 1732, this timeless comedy demonstrates the ageless affinity of laughter and love. A princess driven by honest and noble goals uses a series of dishonest but raucously funny deceptions and disguises to achieve them. Employing a variety of alter egos, and all her considerable charms, the princess quickly turns the heads and hearts of a stuffy philosopher, and his spinster sister, before restoring an unsuspecting prince to his rightful throne.
