About the Show

February 26 - April 16, 2022

by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, directed by JOE DOWLING

A parable of reconciliation -- Prospera, the former ruler of Milan, has spent many embittered years stranded on an island after being usurped by her ruthless brother, Antonio. Her only comforts are her daughter, Miranda, and her own magical powers, which Prospera uses to conjure a storm that brings several shipwreck survivors ashore, Antonio included. But when her intricate revenge plot puts Miranda’s future at risk, Prospera is caught between her desire to reclaim her rightful rule and her unwavering love for her daughter. Former Artistic Director Joe Dowling returns to the Guthrie for the first time since 2015 to direct a female actor in the lead role, traditionally played by a male actor, to focus on the mother-daughter relationship and explore new insights within the story. Often considered Shakespeare’s farewell to the stage, The Tempest shines a spotlight on family relationships, justice and forgiveness.
