The Tempest

About This Event

Shakespeare’s comedy about a major act of betrayal, ill treatment, the development of magic arts and a plot of revenge.

Twelve years ago, Prospera was Duchess of Milan. Being of a bookish disposition, she withdrew more and more into her studies, leaving the management of her state to her brother Antonio. Eventually, with the help of Alonsa, Queen of Naples, and the Queen's brother Sebastian - inveterate enemies of Prospera - Antonio usurped the dukedom for himself. Prospera and her baby daughter Miranda were put to sea in a rotten boat and eventually landed on a distant island once ruled by the witch Sycorax but now inhabited only by her son, Caliban, and Ariel, a spirit.

Directed by Alexander Jones - director of previous Kingham Hill productions The Borgia, Doctor Faustus, and Theatrico's production of Murder on the Orient Express.
