Thick as Thieves present:
THE TEMPEST by William Shakespeare
Touring UK theatres, libraries and rural venues
Prospero and his daughter have been wronged, set adrift in the Mediterranean by a usurping sibling and a rival king. They have lived on a deserted island for 12 years... well, almost deserted.
When fate brings his enemies sailing past the island, Prospero decides to take matters into his own hands. What follows is a story of love, freedom and the consequences of heavy drinking.
Witness a company of four actors romping through Shakespeare's magical comedy. Brave the elements as THE TEMPEST sweeps across the country accompanied by relentless energy, breakneck costume changes and sparkling comedy.
