Ariel in The Tempest with Shakespeare in the Woods

This summer I also played Ariel in The Tempest as well Laertes in Hamlet and had a great time! I really appreciated the opportunity to play a more physical character with permission to make some crazy bold choices!

“Summers has imbued Ariel with a fluidness and light. His physical transformation transfixes the audience. He may be a sweet, bubbly servant inspired by fairies and sprites, but he is also fiery, flirtatious, coy and every bit as coarse as the woman he serves.”
