THE TEMPEST
On a distant island a woman waited. Robbed of her position, power and wealth, her enemies left her in isolation, but Prospero is no ordinary woman, and this was no ordinary island. When Prospero raised a storm to shipwreck the people who betrayed her on the island, her long contemplated revenge at last seemed within reach.
In December 2016 we bought The Tempest to the iconic St. Kilda Botanical Gardens. This magical re imagining was filled with lots of contemporary music, laughs and dancing.
Proceeds of all program sales from The Tempest went to Ardoch Youth Foundation, RhED,St. Kilda Mums, Launch Housing and St. Kilda Gatehouse.
"Novel ideas and raw musical talent
combined with a highly fluid and
delicate choreography of movement... a delightful and expertly executed
performance."
