Writer and director Marya Sea Kaminski brings a fresh taken on a legendary play with this debut of her clever adaptation — which stars accomplished actress and Pittsburgh native Tamara Tunie.

First performed in 1611 and written by William Shakespeare (1564-1616), “The Tempest” is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place by using illusion and skillful manipulation.

Marya Sea Kaminski’s premiere production will crack open this old story to unleash a world where magic reigns, sailors sleep with fish, spirits surround us, and love can strike like lightning to brighten the darkest night. Told from a female perspective with an original score, this “Tempest” will swirl with vicious plots, ridiculous jokes and the powerful pull between violent revenge and veritable forgiveness.
