Shakespeare’s last, and great, play is a triumphant compilation of intrigue, magic, and humour. Prospero, an exiled Duke with supernatural powers, creates a great storm which sees his enemies shipwrecked on his island. Magic abounds, plots are exposed, and a colourful array of characters gain their deserts. First performed in 1611, the Tempest explores ill treatment, betrayal, revenge, and the consequences of European settlement in the New world. Fascinating entertainment.
