Inspired by Elizabethan reports of the West Indies in the 16th Century and imbued with a spirit of magic and superstition, The Tempest is Shakespeare’s tumultuous play of betrayal, love and forgiveness.

Set on a remote and mysterious desert island, a banished father must relinquish control and release his daughter in order for her, and for him, to grow, love and understand this brave new world.

With enchantments and treachery at every turn, will anyone ever escape?

Be not afeard, the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

— Act III, scene 2

Two actors lay on the floor, their heads propped up by their hands. One actor smiles warmly at the other. An actor with painted bloody lips, blue war paint across their eyes and forehead, wearing a wig made of plaits and feathers, extends their arms out to either side, their hands lengthened by long silver claws, with drips of blood at the ends. An actor wearing a tartan long coat crawls backwards on the floor as another actor goes to attack them with a large axe.
