“We are such stuff as dreams are made on…”

Prospero rules an unknowable island full of strange noises and stranger encounters. When an opportunity arises to take revenge on past enemies, she summons a storm to shipwreck them. What follows combines the epic and intimate, magical and domestic and asks of us, when time is short, what does it mean to be human?

Pared back to a thrilling 90-minutes, this will be an exciting production of Shakespeare’s final play, combining dynamic ensemble performances and live music with the vibrancy of Shakespeare’s language.

“Incredibly simple, with a cast of six, little set, few props, but tremendously well done. The small cast has great chemistry and everything is well-timed, well-rehearsed and adeptly executed…A refreshingly gimmick-free and inventive production.” Britishtheatre.com
