The Tempest Project, Episode 2

Episode Summary

Rough Magic Performance Company is a professional theater company focused on supporting women artists, audiences, and stories; we strive to embrace the complexities and diversity of women’s experiences from classics to contemporary work while promoting artistic excellence and community engagement. In Season 4, we explore a modern take on Shakespeare's classic "The Tempest". Featuring an all female/non-binary cast, the themes of generational trauma and colonization are explored. The adaptation and sound design call out how the violence from one generation can echo into future generations; and the power love, wonder, and a little magic have to break these cycles.
