September 14-22 / Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 pm
All are invited to join us in celebrating 42 years of Free Shakespeare in the Park in our newest venue: Sue Bierman Park! Located at Washington & Drumm Street, just north of Embarcadero Plaza, across from the Ferry Building.
Performances will take place Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. on September 14, 15, 21 and 22. Run time is approximately 100 minutes with no intermission. All are invited to bring family, friends, a blanket, and a picnic to enjoy professional theatre at no charge!
The free production is the latest in a diverse array of weekend and evening events bringing new energy and excitement to the Embarcadero under Mayor Breed's Roadmap to San Francisco's Future. "The Embarcadero is the gateway to Downtown San Francisco and our beautiful Bay is the best backdrop for all these events that are bringing thousands of people here and transforming our City into a 24/7 destination that is fun year round," said Mayor London N. Breed. "We want to thank the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival and Recreation & Park Department for providing the public with this great summertime experience as we continue to innovate and invest in events and activations that are transforming this neighborhood and communities across the City."
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.
