About
The St. Louis Shakespeare Festival presents this tale of magic and reconciliation in Forest Park, where Prospero's carefully orchestrated shipwreck forces a confrontation with betrayal, mercy, and the costs of revenge. Running May 27 through June 21, 2026, the production explores how power corrupts and whether forgiveness can truly break its hold. Performed in the traditional style at the festival's outdoor venue in St. Louis, MO, the show examines one of Shakespeare's most enigmatic characters as he works toward a resolution that demands he relinquish everything he has fought to control.
