THE TEMPEST Comes to The Secret Theatre

Producer Stephanie Wilson & Artistic Director/Producer Richard Mazda in association with LIC-Artists is delighted to announce an immersive production of The Tempest. We are performing our production in the 8000sq ft Plaxall Gallery in LIC. The production features an Ariel on silks, a dance company, projections and a huge playing area where scenes will move around the space with the audience following the action. Directed by Owen Thompson our production has incorporated a dance company choreographed by the incredible Shoko Tamai of Ninja Ballet, projection design by Sadah Espii Proctor. The production also features a concurrent art exhibition, ...Dream Again curated by The Plaxall Gallery's Norma Homberg.

This exciting production will be unlike any Tempest that you have seen before!

The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610-1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. After the first scene, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest, the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero [Richard Mazda], a complex and contradictory character, lives with his daughter Miranda [Joy Donze], and his two servants - Caliban [Zachary C Clark, a savage monster figure, and Ariel, an airy spirit. The play contains music and songs that evoke the spirit of enchantment on the island.

The cast includes Richard Mazda [Richard III, Shylock] as Prospero, Joy Donze* as Miranda [Dear Diary, Portia] alongside Zachary C Clark's* Caliban [Edmund], with Keith Otani Howard [Stefano], Kevin Thiel [Ferdinand], Greg Warren [Sebastian], Karl O'Brian Williams* [Alonso], Noelia Antweiler* [Ariel], Kurt Kingsley* [Gonzalo], Mark Edward Lang* [Antonio], Joshua David Scarlett [Francisco/Boatswain], Landon Tate Boyle [Ship's Master/Adrian], and Josh Miccio [Trinculo]. Our dance company includes Darby Fulcher [Iris], Koyu Ugiya [Air], Kelly Vaghenas [Fire], Samantha Randolph [Fire], Sammy Goold [Evil/Dance Captain] & Emily Morrison [Evil], And Steph Seiden [Ceres/Water] with a special cameo as Sycorax by Shoko Tamai.
