The Concord Players brought a one-hour version of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” to the lawn of the library yesterday.
The Prospero was perhaps too young, considering that “The Tempest” is an aging Shakespeare’s valedictory, and there was some awkward overacting, but gee whiz, they had to shout to be heard outdoors. So, good for them to work so hard to give the public free theater in summer!
Several sea nymphs doubled as ushers and were lovely to behold.

What a difficult play to perform. Nice costumes!
Difficult and pared down to one hour in brilliant sunshine — almost not the same play. An “A” for good intentions, though.
I wondered about the sunshine–not very Tempesty. But I also give troupes kudos for good intentions whenever they’re bringing Shakespeare to life.
