"Try To Remember" a time when this hilarious romantic charmer wasn't enchanting audiences around the globe.

The Tempest
Written by William Shakespeare | Directed by Norman Jones
Featuring Current Students and Theatre Arts Alumni

On a distant island, a man waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm, he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake, they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems. (RSC 2016)

Runtime: 80-Minutes
