The MAC’s (Milford Arts Council) Eastbound Theatre presents William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” Saturday and Sunday, August 1 and 2 at 5 pm at Eisenhower Park, 780 North Street in Milford. Directed by Nancy A. Herman of Milford, the production continues Eastbound’s tradition of presenting free summer Shakespeare in the Park.
Combining elements of magic, revenge, romantic love and redemption on a remote island, the play focuses on Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan who uses his magical powers to cause a storm that shipwrecks Alonso, the king of Naples as well as Prospero’s treacherous brother, Antonio. There the two men and their group of castaways encounter the banished Duke, his daughter, Miranda and the island servants, the monstrous Caliban and the spirit, Ariel.
The park opens at 4 pm. Patrons are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, snacks or picnic. Rain dates are Saturday and Sunday, Aug 8 and 9. While there is no charge for the production, donations are encouraged and much appreciated.
