Storms, betrayal, and revenge are in the air, but so are enchantment, love, and even redemption in Naked Shakes’ new production of “The Tempest,” presented in three outdoor performances in Elings Park’s Godric Grove, held Thursday and Friday, September 11 and 12 at 5 p.m. and Sunday, September 14 at 3 p.m.

The company not only performs on campus but has also appeared at Italy’s Verona Shakespeare Fringe Festival, Southwest Shakespeare Company at Taliesin West (Scottsdale, Arizona), Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles, Westmont College, and Center Stage Theater in downtown Santa Barbara.

“Naked” refers to the company’s signature style of using minimal props and costumes to focus on the Bard’s brilliant words. Join us for a magical production in celebration of the 20th Anniversary Season of this award-winning UCSB ensemble.
