Join us for a magical outdoor theatre experience and be transported to a land of mischief and mayhem this summer.

When sorceress Prospero uses her powers to conjure an almighty storm, the survivors of a shipwreck are left deserted on a remote island… or so they think. The group soon discover an enchanting world of fairies and mythical beasts awaits them in this tale of feuding families and falling in love.

Using just a few props and some speedy costume changes, our cast of four bring to life all of the mad-cap characters in this action-packed, 80 minute version of Shakespeare’s final play.

Perfect for everyone over the age of 6, gather the family, slap on some sun cream and enjoy this brilliantly bonkers open air production of The Tempest against the backdrop of Lakeside Arts.
