A magical storm. A powerful magician. A journey to forgiveness.
Storms, betrayal, and revenge are in the air, but so are enchantment, love, and even redemption in Naked Shakes’ new production of “The Tempest,” presented outdoors as part of Summer Shakespeare in Elings Park. Irwin Appel’s staging is an innovative visual feast, filled with movement and choreography by Christina McCarthy, and an original score composed and performed live by Jim Connolly.
“Naked” refers to the company’s signature style of using minimal props and costumes to focus on the Bard’s brilliant words. Join us for a magical production in celebration of the 20th Anniversary Season of this award-winning UCSB ensemble.
