Description |
Bell Shakespeare Company. This production is "a light telling of a mysterious fable, a highly personal and deeply felt meditation on art and life, renunciation and redemption. As in most fables there is an element of amazement at work and Shakespeare's last play begins with a storm at sea, a catharsis that plunges his characters into a ritual of transformation and revelation. They enter a labyrinth, a maze, an imagined world, an alien land where they will undergo a sea-change into something rich and strange". |
