Just got an email from the A.R.T. about next year's season. Much of it looks kinda moderately interesting, but the final entry grabbed me hard:
The TempestPosner and Teller did a marvelous co-direction of "Macbeth" some years back, so I trust them a lot. Tom Waits is just icing on the cake.
Adapted and Directed by
Aaron Posner and Teller from Shakespeare's play
Magic by Teller | Music by Tom Waits
Experience Prospero's wizardry as never before in this startling production, featuring magic by the illusionist Teller (of the legendary duo Penn and Teller). When shipwrecked aristocrats wash up on the shores of Prospero's strange island, they find themselves immersed in a world of trickery and amazement, where Tom Waits' Dust Bowl balladry and Teller's magic animate the spirits and monsters. The Tempest is a co-production with the Smith Center, Las Vegas.
