[Update: Dexter Armory performance postponed due to rain.]
“O brave new world, that has such people in it!” Trinity Rep and Rhode Island Latino Arts (RILA), announces the third year of its program Teatro en El Verano (Theater in the Summer). This year’s production features the bilingual English-Spanish adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest (La Tempestad) translated by Orlando Hernandez. The play will be directed by Brown/Trinity MFA second-year Tatyana-Marie Carlo.
Trinity Rep and Rhode Island Latino Arts partner once again to present a new 90-minute bilingual adaptation of Shakespeare’s moving and magical play, The Tempest. A not-so-accidental storm causes a shipwreck on a mysterious island, populated only by the deposed duke Prospero, his daughter, and magical spirits. What starts out as Prospero’s pursuit of vengeance becomes a fantastical and whimsical story of love and reconciliation.
There will be five more performances of La Tempestad around the state this summer, with the final performance being held on July 27th at Roger Williams Park.
Arrive early and bring your tote: The Summer Farmers Market at Dexter Parade Grounds is held on Thursdays from 3:30pm to 7pm.
