Join College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) Visiting Artist Series in welcoming Idaho Shakespeare Festival back to campus on Tuesday, Feb. 17, for a performance of The Tempest and an acting workshop.
Idaho Shakespeare Festival will present William Shakespeare’s final play, The Tempest, a story of magic, betrayal, and redemption. Tempted by spirits, teased by sprites, and tormented by a monster, a shipwrecked king and his party face the wrath of the betrayed conjurer Prospero, a man they marooned on an enchanted island years earlier. Along the journey, passions are unleashed, villainy is thwarted, and a family is reunited in a comic and cathartic tale of romance and renewal.
The performance will be American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted and is open to the public.
