A powerful — and much wronged — magician must find forgiveness for the sake of his daughter and the future… but the taste of power is sweet and revenge is at hand. Will love prevail? Join Elm Shakespeare for an evening of music, passion, and magic in this love letter to theater itself and the wonder it creates in our hearts.
