Hovey Players present "The Tempest" by Shakespeare

Hovey kicks off its 2011-2012 Season with Shakespeare’s The Tempest opening on Friday, September 9, 2011.  Performances are September 9-24, 2011 at 8pm with a matinee on Sunday, September 18 at 2:00 PM.  Opening night includes our usual opening night reception with food donated by Waltham’s Baan Thai, and we provide beverages and snacks.  The Tempest will be performed at the Abbott Memorial Theater, 9 Spring Street, Waltham, next to the public library. 

The Tempest is directed by Mike Haddad, produced by Ronni Marshak, Tatiana Ivan, and John Eldridge.  Costumes are designed by IRNE winner Kimmerie Jones.

A storm brews in the heart of Prospero, the wronged Duke of Milan, as the revenge he has longed for finally comes within his grasp.  Prospero's bitterness toward his enemies is a counterpoint to his love for his daughter, Miranda.  Though The Tempes is a tale full of magic, spirits, and monsters, its themes of love, revenge, and forgiveness are all too human. Tickets are $15/$18.  Contact 781-893-9171 or Reservations@hoveyplayers.com.  Performances will be at 9 Spring Street, Waltham, MA.
