The Tempest by William Shakespeare

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here…"

For twelve years Prospero, the rightful duke of Milan, has dwelt on an island after his brother Antonio betrayed him and cast him adrift in a small boat. For twelve years he has plotted revenge on those who overthrew him…

Classical language combines with live music and choral sea shanties to bring what is thought to be the bard's final play to life. A tale of revenge, love and forgiveness that is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
