THE TEMPEST
On Sunday December 10th 2017 in a magnificently restored private barn in beautiful Bucks County, PA, New Place Players and Thomas Keller protégé Max Hansen presented The Tempest. The evening featured a magical, immersive production with live music and a simultaneous three course feast including hors d’oeuvres and wine pairings inspired by the world of the play. The performance, staged by Richard Crawford, master Lecoq movement director (Cirque du Soleil, War Horse), surrounds and envelopes the guests to create a multi-course journey of the senses.
