LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Shakespeare at the Lake, a co-production of Lake County Theatre Company and Mendocino College, announced that “The Tempest” by William Shakespeare will be its featured play for this summer’s production.
Rehearsals are in full swing for this year’s production, which organizers said will feature an exciting cast with several new faces.
“The Tempest” will be set in the vibrant and energetic 1980s punk rock scene, bringing a fresh and contemporary twist to Shakespeare’s classic tale.
“The Tempest” is a magical and enchanting play that explores themes of love, forgiveness and redemption.
The story follows Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, who has been exiled to a remote island with his daughter Miranda.
With the help of his spirit servant Ariel, Prospero conjures a tempest to bring his enemies to the island and ultimately reunite with his family and reclaim his rightful place as duke.

Shows are July 27 and 28 in Library Park in Lakeport, and Aug. 2 and 3 in Austin Park in Clearlake. All shows begin at 7 p.m.
Admission is free, as it has always been, and there is plenty of space.
Bring a blanket, chair, sun hat and some friends. Grab a bite to eat or a cold drink from one of our vendors, or bring your own. Organizers promise it will be a good time.
