Seattle Shakespeare Company unveiled its 2020-2021 season containing several artist-initiated projects around the theme of “Family Trust.” Highlights include a comedy by a Shakespeare contemporary, the return of upstart crow collective to the Seattle Shakespeare stage, a 20th Century American classic, and the beloved bickering of Beatrice and Benedick.

Directed by Annie Lareau, our new production of Shakespeare’s late masterpiece The Tempest begins performances Oct. 15 in the Center Theatre.
The Tempest is unlike any other play in Shakespeare’s body of work. It takes place all in one day; it is filled with magic and spirits; it revisits many themes Shakespeare has tackled before; and, it focuses on Prospero, a main character who is totally in control of his own story.
Seattle Shakespeare Company is on solid footing and the 2018-2019 season was one of our most successful ever.
Magical spirits aid an exiled duke towards reconciliation and release in Shakespeare’s final solo masterpiece, The Tempest at Seattle Shakespeare Oct. 15-Nov. 10, 2019
