The Tempest

California Theatre Center presents The Tempest, by William Shakespeare. This was Shakespeare’s last comedy, written in 1611; shortly afterward he left London to retire to his birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon. Many believe that the play was his farewell to his art. Regardless of his intent, The Tempest, with its wonderful comedy and mature poetry, is a magnificent final curtain.

Join Prospero on this fantasy isle inhabited only by his daughter and an abundance of airy and earthy spirits. A great storm which brings a ship crashing onto the tiny island begins a story filled with love, intrigue, betrayal and folly.

Schedule: July 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 16, 22 at 8pm; Sundays, July 4 at 2pm and July 25 at 2pm & 7pm; and Saturday, July 17 at 4pm.
