William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” takes center stage this week at Attic Productions under the direction of Katerina Yancey.
“The Tempest” is about a magician, Prospero, a former duke of Milan who was displaced by his treacherous brother, Antonio. Prospero is exiled on an island, where his only companions are his daughter, Miranda, the spirit Ariel, and the monster Caliban. When his enemies are among those caught in a storm near the island, Prospero turns his power upon them through Ariel and other spirits.
This favorite Shakespeare tale will be presented at Attic’s D. Geraldine Lawson Performing Arts Center, 7490 Roanoke Road, Fincastle, May 23-26. Thursday and Friday evening shows begin at 7:30, and Saturday and Sunday matinees begin at 2:30.
