The Temptest's Tale, or Caught Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

By Shannon Chinn, Inspired/Adapted from The Tempest, by William Shakespeare

When a father's bedtime story to his young daughter begins to come to life around them, the two must navigate a world of shipwrecks, sea monsters, and scurvy knaves, all while finding their way back to each other. This fantastically wacky re-imagining of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" explores the power of family through storytelling, childlike imagination, and even a sea shanty or two.
