Why See The Tempest?

PlaysFamily ShowsShakespeareOpen Air Productions

Oh Wonder!

Shakespeare's island-bound drama returns to the Globe as part of the 2022 summer season. Enthralling and immersive, this brand new production of The Tempest is an atmospheric tale of shipwreck and sorcery on a spell-binding isle, ruled over by the vengeful Prospero, and his unerring determination to wreak havoc on his former oppressors.

What is the story?

The play concerns Prospero, the Duke of Milan, who has been usurped by his brother. He resides on a remote island, where he considers how he might find a way to restore his daughter, Miranda to her rightful place as heiress to the title. He resolves that he must turn to magic, to conjure a fearsome storm to lure his brother away from Venice to the island.

A sense of spirituality and magic lies at the core of this play, which empathetically deals with notions of resentment, forgiveness, and enlightenment, as well as displaying the acute understanding of the human condition which made Shakespeare so celebrated, and so important.
