The Rueff at A.C.T.'s Strand Theater
Melanie can bring fictional characters to life. When she comes home to her apartment to find the monstrous (though hunky) Caliban from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, fantasy bleeds into reality. With the help of a lifeguard and a Fury from Greek tragedies, Melanie must embrace her power before evil magician Prospero destroys the world. Shakespeare meets superheroes in this whirlwind action comedy from Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, chief creative officer of Archie Comics and the mastermind behind CW’s Riverdale and Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
