Shakespeare, New Orleans Style At UTA!
Posted by dfwtheatrescene on February 21, 2008
The Tempest by William Shakespeare
Directed by Andrew Gaupp
Shakespeare meets the Big Easy! Set in the New Orleans’ French Quarter, post Katrina, THE TEMPEST explores political intrigue, romance, and redemption. Conjure-man Prospero seeks to exact revenge on his backstabbing brother with the aid of the supernatural. But will the spirit of the Vieux Carr first work its own magic?
