Theater | Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh City Paper: In William Shakespeare's original version of The Tempest, the protagonist, Prospero, is an embittered duke stranded on a magical island with his daughter, Miranda.
But the Pittsburgh Public Theater’s all-female adaptation of the iconic play takes a different approach. Helmed by new PPT artistic director Marya Sea Kaminski, the production opens on the surgical oncology floor of a Pittsburgh hospital where we find Prospero (Tamara Tunie, film and television star, and Pittsburgh native) as a woman battling late-stage breast cancer.
