All are invited to join us in celebrating 42 years of Free Shakespeare in the Park! Since 1983, as part of SF Shakes' mission to make Shakespeare accessible to all, we've brought our Free Shakes productions to audiences around the SF Bay Area; no tickets or Shakespeare experience required.
Thought to be Shakespeare's last solo written play, 'The Tempest' tells the tale of a father (Prospero) and daughter (Miranda) set adrift to sea by the jealous machinations of Prospero's brother. On an island inhabited with magical creatures, Prospero uses magic to rule the land, until a tempest washes ashore Prospero's brother and co-conspirators. Complete with clownish shipwrecked sailors, The Tempest explores themes of revenge and forgiveness and asks the audience to find the humanity in all the characters they meet.
Director Rotimi Agbabiaka looks to highlight the themes of forgiveness and recovering from loss. Joining him is Assistant Director Ely Sonny Orquiza, who holds an unwavering belief in the remarkable power of equity and representation in storytelling to bridge the divide and differences amongst us.
The show runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission. Health and safety protocols that are in place during the performances will be followed.
We at the Festival believe that Shakespeare experienced in a communal setting elates the soul, inspires the mind, and unifies those who sit beside each other. We hope that you agree and we look forward to seeing you this summer!
Free!
