WINTERFEST!
Mesa Arts Center, Piper Repertory Theater
1/10-1/23/2013
WINTERFEST! --- For The First Time! Southwest Shakespeare Co. Winter Repertory Two of Shakespeare's Best Presented in rotating repertory by a single company of players. HAMLET Without question the most famous play in the English language, Hamlet is a milestone in Shakespeare's dramatic development--a portrait of a man torn between two forces; the need to remain morally pure and the need to take revenge. Join us for an unforgettable theatre event! THE TEMPEST Considered by many to be Shakespeare's swansong and farewell to the theatre, The Tempest combines themes of romance, betrayal, justice, reality and illusion, to create a tale that penetrates to the heart of the theatre itself, and touches on the fundamental nature of man and the artistic imagination.
