ACTOR/DIRECTOR
The most refreshing thing about Orlando Shakespeare Theater’s production of the 1925 novel’s stage adaptation is how director Anne Hering brings these characters from the lofty realm of sacred archetypes back down to earth. Suddenly, these aren’t literary devices but flesh-and-blood people.
Hering delivers with a natural, alluring production. Her chosen dynamic with emphasis on physical comedy in the Caliban/Stephano/Trinculo scenes ensures that the audience remains delightfully engaged.
Director Anne Hering’s production for Orlando Shakespeare Theater is a feast for the eyes.
