Princeton Day School Theater presents The Tempest, November 13-15, in the McAneny Theater. The Tempest marks Shakespeare's final masterpiece, blending magic, betrayal and redemption.

Years later, a storm conjured by Prospero shipwrecks his enemies on the island's shores. As magic swirls and secrets surface, young lovers meet, old scores rise to the surface and nothing is quite what it seems. Tickets available via the Box Office.
