The Case Western Reserve University/Cleveland Play House Master of Fine Arts Acting Program will perform William Shakespeare’s final play, The Tempest, in September.
Reiterating many common themes seen across Shakespeare’s works—such as family strife, conflict, and, ultimately, forgiveness and reconciliation—The Tempest tells the story of the exiled Duchess of Milan, Prospera. In the play, Prospera finds revenge within her grasp with the arrival on her island of those who had banished her. She must ultimately decide whether to move forward or dwell in the anger of the past.
The CWRU/CPH MFA Acting Program Class of 2024 will hold performances at The Helen Theater Sept. 20–30.
