SEPTEMBER 20-30, 2023

"As with all of old Will's works, complexities ensue and it is up to the performers and director to make it all fit together and create that special theatrical magic that even Ariel would envy. And while this production succeeds in many respects., other areas are given short shrift."

While Great Lakes Theater (formerly the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival) takes a break from the Bard with a smashing production of the Broadway hit "Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812," Playhouse Square is still offering amazing classic theater with "The Tempest" at the intimate Helen Theater. The Case Western Reserve University MFA Acting Program and Cleveland Play House production talent in front and behind the highly atmospheric rocky island set by Richard H. Morris, Jr. whip up a tempest of great theater.
