The sorceress Prospera, rightful Duchess of Milan, and her daughter, Miranda, have been stranded for twelve years on a magical island after Prospera's jealous brother Antonio, aided by Alonso, the King of Naples, deposed her and set her and her daughter adrift. They landed on this remote island where she has been plotting to restore her daughter Miranda to her rightful place, using her skills as a sorceress. When she learns that her brother, Antonio, is on a ship passing close by the island, she raises a tempest which causes the ship to run aground. Antonio and his friends are now in Prospera's domain and are about to discover that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The Tempest Project, adapted from William Shakespeare's The Tempest, by Frank Benge, is a steampunk fantasy of a world where steam power is still widely used.

      The set design by Kevin Scholtes is a MUST see, it adds beautifully to this Shakespearean retelling. Cici Barone is hauntingly beautiful, lively and mysterious as Ariel, the sprite helper to Prospera, played knowingly and beautifully by Susan Dickson (the Shakespearean text flows off her tongue). Emily Kennedy as Calibra is down right creepy with her monster voice. Lynn Beaver and Gene Storie nearly steal the show as the drunken airship passenger and butler. The lovers, Carrie Stephens and Jason Baiocchi, are sweet and Carrie does a particularly good job with the text and a fairly one dimensional role. Sean Hunter nails the pomposity of Gonzalo. Jordana Mohran and Nelly Ruiz de Chavez do a fine job and the entire cast LOOKS gorgeous in the inspired costumes designed by Roni Prior. The preshow MUSIC is to die for, DAMN Shazam for not recognizing it. Frank Benge has done a fine job directing a huge show, on an island no less, on a small stage. Bravo to all Collapse
