Jones Playhouse

The Tempest

by William Shakespeare

directed by M. Burke Walker

GRAND RE-OPENING of the Jones Playhouse

Shakespeare’s final play is a wonder of invention, an exuberant celebration of theatrical art and artifice: a tempest, a shipwreck, castaways, lost children, music, first love, revenge, drunken clowns, murder plots, magic, monsters, spirits, and three Roman gods! The Tempest and its enchanted island are a middle world where society is turned upside down and the future placed in the hands of two young lovers.

No late seating for School of Drama events.

Running Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes including intermission

The UW Arts Ticket Office will be closed on Wed, Nov 11th. Tickets are available online or in person at the Jones Playhouse box office starting at 6:30 pm on the night of the show.
