“… MAGIC…inventive staging and solid command of source text make for a memorable re-imagining – Philip Brandes, LA Times
“… puts the entire play in a powerful new perspective… abounds with visual and choreographic poetry… A STUNNER” — Stage Raw
“The best version of The Tempest I have ever seen” — The World Through Night-Tinted Glasses
“SHEER MAGIC”...amps up the play's sense of wonder, and focuses its emotional intensity like a crystal focusing a laser...Shakespeare would weep with joy to see the heart of his most personal work so radiantly revealed." — Theatre Ghost
“So profoundly moving, so exciting and original, that I cannot urge you enough to go see it. If you only make time for one Shakespeare production this year, let it be this one… theatre magic at its finest.”
— Shakespeare in LA
"The most inventive production of The Tempest that I have ever seen…If you love originality, if you love theatricality, if you love words and action that make the sometimes-difficult language of Shakespeare accessible, then do not miss this production. ” — Paul Myrvold’s Theatre Notes
“WOW!…Farmanesh-Bocca takes reinvention to such an excitingly new level, it’s no wonder Tempest Redux is the most buzzed-about Shakespeare show in town.” — StageScene LA
Derived from Shakespeare's fantasy, this freshly conceived reconstruction of The Tempest is a potent confection of physical theater and verbal gymnastics — a father-daughter story for the ages that explores the power of love and forgiveness.
