The Tempest - July 30-September 4

"People outside our fair city would give their right arm to have access to the kind of entertainment Independent Shakespeare Co. and the Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival provides. Don’t let summer pass you by. Go. Experience it." - Shakespeare in L.A. The Tempest Begins Saturday, July 30 & Sunday, July 31 Then plays Wednesdays - Sundays at 7pm through September 4 Pack a picnic, a blanket (or low seat beach chair) and dress in layers (it gets chilly at night). In Shakespeare's final play, magic, first love and the forces of revenge intersect on a mysterious island. Prospero has spent 12 years in exile watching his growing daughter, Miranda, all the while plotting to punish his duplicitous brother with the sorcery he has been practicing. But when the opportunity presents itself, he learns that magic doesn't make the man, the world is stranger than it appears and that perhaps the past is only history.
