Spirits to Enforce

Spirits to Enforce, by Mickle Maher (Capital T Theatre)
(90 minutes)

Twelve superheroes take up residence in a secret submarine to hold a fundraising drive for their upcoming production of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Seriously. Infusing elements of Shakespeare’s language, comic book lore, and choral arrangement, Mickle Maher’s Spirits To Enforce is formally innovative, wryly humorous, deeply compassionate — and holds firmly to the belief that the theater can create anything out of nothing at all.

NOTE: Spirits to Enforce continues at the Blue with three February performances that are not part of the Long Fringe. Purchase tickets for a February performance here.
