EPIC returned to the Flea for our first Shakespeare production, The Tempest, one of the Bard’s more notorious “problem” plays. The benefits of a neuro-diverse cast and crew telling this classic tale of betrayal, wonder, and forgiveness were clear to at least one reviewer: “Such casting not only works to give tangible representation to marginalized groups . . . but also adds a new layer to Shakespeare’s story of manipulation and sorcery.”
