Details

Prospero, Duke of Milan, his dukedom usurped by his brother Antonio, is put to sea with his daughter Miranda and some magical books smuggled in by his loyal councillor Gonzalo. The sea casts them up on an island where Prospero, exercising his magical powers, makes a home for himself and Miranda. One day a great storm, which Prospero has conjured, breaks up a passing ship and delivers to him the members of his usurping court. Treacherous brother, fellow conspirators and old friend alike come under Prospero's spell. Shakespeare's last play. This summer we'll be bringing back the hugely popular format of our sell-out summer 2016 & 2017 productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream. In small groups the audience will convene in a secret location and discover the scenes and characters of The Tempest in the last places you'd expect to find them. The Tempest is a promenade performance. This means you'll move around different locations throughout the performance. We're still planning the route but it'll likely be approx 2km walk. The Tempest will begin with the audience in one central location in Osney Mead, and you'll be sent more information before your performance.
