IU theater professor Murray McGibbon hopes to receive another grant for his African Tempest Project, this time to bring South African theater students to IU.

This installment of “Alternative Conversations” features IU theater professor Murray McGibbon. In the summer of 2007, he took six theater students to his native South Africa, where they collaborated with a South African university on a production of Shakespeare's The Tempest, which McGibbon called The African Tempest Project.

Amber Kerezman interviewed McGibbon for this story package.
