Sycorax

Something Witchy This Way Comes

In a regional premiere, Susan Gayle Todd’s prequel to William Shakespeare’s The Tempest tells the poignant story of the mother of the “servant-monster” Caliban. This tragedy imagines the life of the witch Sycorax as an Algerian healer who rises to power only to be scapegoated by powerful men.
