The Tempest

The Tempest tells the story of Prospero, an exiled duke ready to take his revenge. In the Pittsburgh Public Theater’s rendition of Shakespeare’s classic, Prospero is not a duke. Instead, Prospero is a woman battling breast cancer. In a dream, she is transported to a whimsical island, where feelings of betrayal and abandonment drive the plot and chronicle her journey to forgiveness. Attend the production on Jan. 27 for a special Q&A session before the performance with Dr. Angela Keleher, director of the Allegheny Health Network’s Division of Breast Surgery.
