The Tempest
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare
A fierce storm at sea casts a group of nobles onto a mysterious island ruled by magic and spirits.
Here, Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan, rules the isle with his daughter Miranda and commands the elements through the powerful spirit Ariel. As old rivalries surface while young love blooms, the island transforms into a place of wonder, mischief and unexpected forgiveness.
Presented by students of the National Performing Academy’s Young Drama programme, this production of Shakespeare’s classic will carry you to a world where magic and humanity collide.
This production is suitable for ages.
