VIENNA — The Vienna Union Hall Association is bringing the Theater at Monmouth players for William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest.”

It will be presented at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, at the hall at 5 Vienna Mountain Road.

The play, adapted and directed by Dawn McAndrews, is a journey to a unique and fantastical world where spirits roam, reality is elusive, and illusion abounds. After 12 years marooned with her daughter Miranda, the deposed duke must choose between the desire for power and the freedom that comes with compassion.

Set during the golden age of sea exploration, “The Tempest” investigates individual freedom: our desire to achieve it, our struggle to preserve it, and ultimately, our forgiveness of those who have taken it from us.

Since 2005, Shakespeare in Maine Communities has taken the Bard on the road through 60- to 90-minute versions of Shakespeare with five to eight actors. Plays are fully designed, rehearsed, and tour for a month to schools and community centers.

The objectives of the players are to inspire imaginative thinking and foster creativity; to increase confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of community. The players will answer questions and talk with the audience at the end of the performance.

Tickets are $13 in advance or $15 at the door.
