Cant remember which of Shakespeares 38 plays The Tempest is? Heres the abridged, HobartsNotes version: Sorcerer Prospero and his virginal daughter Miranda are stranded on an island. Prospero conjures a vengeful storm to run aground the ship carrying the jerks responsible. Miranda falls in love with one of the jerks because, hey, a girl gets lonely. Romance, betrayal, and drunkenness ensue. Also slavery, in the form of Caliban, one of Shakespeares most problematic and conflicted creations. Packed full of romance, enchantment, and politics, Kerry Skalskys outdoor production may require you to pack an umbrella, in case an actual tempest opens up overhead. ERIKA HOBART 3:30 p.m. Fri.-Sun. Ends April 27.
Fridays-Sundays, 3:30 p.m. Starts: April 18. Continues through April 27, 2008
