“O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't.”
In this theatrical reading, professional actors from the Shakespeare Project of Chicago will bring The Tempest’s magic, betrayal, romance, and ultimate forgiveness to life, in a performance directed by J. R. Sullivan.
Founded in 1993, the Shakespeare Project of Chicago has performed at the Newberry since 2003. This reading will be preceded by an informative talk by a dramaturg about ten minutes before the performance and followed by a question-and-answer talkback with the director and cast.
