William Shakespeare’s 1611 romance takes place on the enchanted island inhabited by the magician Prospero, the spirit Ariel, and the half-monster Caliban.  The source of countless allegorical interpretations ranging from the political to the biographical to the theological, “The Tempest” has long been regarded as one of Shakespeare’s most beautiful and accomplished, if also mysterious, plays.
 
Note: Special thanks to Mike Whelan (’83) who was to have played Caliban until illness necessitates his leaving the cast and to Mike Abbott (’85) for stepping into the role.
