traditions as a way to reach out to audiences of today. Borrowing
inspiration from Medieval Pageant Wagons, Commedia dell’arte,
the American Carnival and Vaudeville we present lively and energetic
performances that invite audiences to be actively engaged in the
stories that we tell.

The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1610–11, and thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skilful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio’s lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso’s son, Ferdinand.
