The Tempest

Theater Review: CSC’s “The Tempest” — A Brilliantly Kinetic Staging

CSC pulled out all the stops for its turn at The Tempest, bringing together a cast that is more than up to the challenge of knitting together poignant drama and madcap comedy.

Fuse Theater Review: At the A.R.T., “The Tempest” is Toast

Is it the Bard or a magic show? The prestidigitation wins out given the wanness of the dramatic proceedings.

Theater Review: A “Tempest” With the Wedding Bell Blues

Olympia Dukakis’ Prospera is no tough feminist deity commanding a tiny kingdom. She is at her best when she plays the character as a feisty, down-to-earth mother who wants the best for her daughter.

Coming Attactions in Theater: October 2011

Film Review: Shakespeare’s “Tempest,” Technologically Enhanced

Julie Taymor’s film version of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest is conclusive proof that just because we can do something with technology does not mean that we should.

Coming Attractions in Theater: August 2010

The summer season winds down with (too) many of the usual crowd-pleasers, enlivened by a couple of world premieres, a re-vamping of an Oscar Wilde warhorse, and an encounter with non-being, courtesy of Edward Albee.
