Shakespeare’s last, and great, play is a triumphant compilation of intrigue, magic, and humour.
Prospero, an exiled Duke with supernatural powers, creates a great storm which sees his enemies shipwrecked on his island. Magic abounds, plots are exposed, and a colourful array of characters gain their deserts.
Fascinating entertainment.
Please note: this is an outside performance so please do bring your own rugs and cushions to sit on. In the event of inclement weather then we will be moving into the Main Hall
