The Tempest

The Tempest follows the exiled magician Prospero, who uses magic to conjure a storm,
shipwrecking his treacherous brother Antonio, King Alonso, and others on his island, seeking revenge and restoration.

On the island, his daughter Miranda falls in love with Alonso’s son Ferdinand, while a separate plot involves drunken servants conspiring with the monster Caliban. Ultimately, Prospero chooses forgiveness, reunites families, regains his dukedom, and frees his spirit servant Ariel, ending with a plea to the audience to release him from the stage.

This is an engaging story about betrayal, a plot for revenge, incompetence of drunkards, the
enchantment of young love and overarching all – the power of the magic arts.

The Tempest will be staged at Murwillumbah Civic Centre on 13-29 March.
