The Tempest November 26, 2010

directed by Rob Melrose

Cutting Ball Theater opens its 11th season with THE TEMPEST, one of Shakespeare's most magical and romantic plays. The exiled Duke of Milan uses sorcery to cause a shipwreck to take his treacherous brother to an enchanted isle. But magic works both ways in this tale when the creatures of the island turn against him and his daughter falls in love with his enemy's son. In the tradition of Cutting Ball's uniquely San Franciscan Taming of the Shrew and expressionistic Macbeth, this three-person chamber version of THE TEMPEST promises to give an up close and personal look at the monsters lurking inside all of us.
