The Blue Barn Theatre’s Walk The Night returns for its fifth season. Adapted from Shakespeare’s The Tempest: Prospero escaped an attempt on his life — by his own family. To survive, he and his child took refuge in an abandoned estate in the woods north of the city, letting the rest of the world think they were dead. In the years since, Prospero discovered an ancient tomb that seems to have granted arcane abilities. Now, by a twist of fate, Prospero’s usurpers have found their way into his trap. What his revenge will be, and how he obtains it will be an answer you yourself must answer.
The events occur in real time, throughout The Neale Woods Nature Center. There are no set theatre seats. Guests are free to explore. Parts of the experience may occur outdoors, throughout nature trails. Comfortable footwear is recommended. Performances include acrobatics, dance, fight choreography, live music, interactive puppetry with large-scale puppets and possible 1-on-1 interactions.
