Live Cinema: “The Tempest” – Royal Shakespeare Company

Gesa Power House Theatre 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla

Gesa Power House Theatre will screen the current Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) production of "The Tempest" on Wednesday, April 22 at 6:00 p.m.

"The Tempest" is brought to life on the RSC stage in collaboration with Intel and in association with The Imaginarium Studios, featuring some of today's most advanced technology in a bold re-imagining of Shakespeare's magical play, and starring Simon Russell Beale. The production was filmed live in Stratford-Upon-Avon and rebroadcast internationally to select screens.

On a distant island a man waits.

Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.

Simon Russell Beale returns to the RSC after 20 years to play Prospero in a production directed by Artistic Director Gregory Doran.

$10 – $15
