Firebird Theatre presents
The Tempest
By William Shakespeare
Adaptation by Stephanie Kempson and Firebird Theatre
“I have just seen a ship, but as I watched, it broke in two and sank beneath the waves.” - Miranda
The Tempest is about a violent and windy storm.
It’s about brothers fighting. Then learning to forgive.
It’s about who owns an island.
It’s about love. And being told who to love.
It’s about being bossed about or being free to do whatever you like.
And it’s about magic.
Firebird Theatre welcomes you into the world of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Discover this magical story told by a unique ensemble of actors and narrated by actor and presenter, George Webster.
