This production has been postponed to May 13-14.

Transplanting characters from The Tempest to present-day New York, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's "Rough Magic" is a Shakespearean action-adventure-fantasy in the tradition of Harry Potter and The X-Men.

'Rough Magic' conjures a mythical, magical meta-universe in which the evil sorcerer, Prospero, is willing to do anything to recover his stolen book of magic — even if it means Manhattan’s destruction. Lucky for us, New York’s defenders include a quartet of unlikely heroes: Melanie Porter, a plucky, raven-haired dramaturg with the ability to free characters from plays; Caliban, Prospero’s hunky (though not-too-bright) son; Tisiphone, a revenge-seeking Fury from Ancient Greece; and a 17-year-old lifeguard from Coney Island named Chet Baxter.

May the forces of evil beware…
