Every summer in Arkansas, we look forward to the Arkansas Shakespeare Theater. But this summer they made the difficult decision to cancel due to COVID concerns.
Thankfully, the Firebrand Theater offered an outdoor performance of Shakespeare's "The Tempest", We recently discovered the opera setting of "The Tempest" by contemporary composer Thomas Ades, and it's one of our favorites.
We were ready for opening night, sharing milkshakes from the Purple Cow (always go for the peanut butter chocolate) and enjoying the lovely evening. When a real tempest hit.
We huddled underneath blankets in the hopes that the rain would last only briefly, but it didn't let up, and the outdoor performance was canceled.
We made it back the next night, though, and thoroughly enjoyed the performance of Shakespeare's classic. Hopefully, next year's festival schedule will be full of plays for everyone to enjoy again!
