Prospero, Duke of Milan, his dukedom usurped by his brother Antonio, is put to sea with his daughter Miranda and some magical books smuggled in by his loyal councillor Gonzalo. The sea casts them up on an island where Prospero, exercising his magical powers, makes a home for himself and Miranda. One day a great storm, which Prospero has conjured, breaks up a passing ship and delivers to him the members of his usurping court. Treacherous brother, fellow conspirators and old friend alike come under Prospero's spell. Shakespeare's last play. Join us as local schools come together to deliver imaginative and unique versions of The Tempest which are bound to enthral, excite and inspire. This project is part of the Royal Shakespeare Company's Associate Schools Programme which enables young people, teachers and communities to partner with Hull Truck Theatre and St Mary's College ensuring the beginning of an accessible and lifelong relationship with Shakespeare's plays.
