The Tempest - Torn Out Theatre

Just caught — and can highly recommend — the Torn Out Theatre's all-female — and yes, all nude — version of The Tempest, playing its last show today at the Music Pagoda in Prospect Park.

The nudity is quickly incidental, and actually fits in very well with the plot, but the most liberating thing about this production is Shakespeare literally stripped down to nothing but the word, the power and timelessness, timeliness of the verse.

The glade setting in the park is perfect, as are the terrific actors and dancers, who also and amazingly manage to project vocally without amplification in the open space, and can be heard easily— a rarity these days, even in miked and over-amplified theatres.

Catch them if you can, or next time around.
