Smith Street Stage presents a free outdoor mounting of Shakespeare's swan song, a darkly comic story of magic, romance, revenge, and forgiveness.
'The Tempest' is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, the former Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation.

Smith Street Stage's seventh annual Shakespeare in Carroll Park production is free to the public.
