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. Re-imagined and reinvented, Company C's the Tempest is set against the backdrop of unprecedented global population displacement. As untold thousands of people seeking sanctuary are left to perish, there has never been a more relevant time to rediscover the telling of Shakespeare's most magical and human story of loss, revenge, transformation, reconciliation and resolution.
