Shakespeare in the Barn: The Tempest
Winterbourne Medieval Barn
We are delighted to welcome The Festival Players back to Winterbourne Medieval Barn to perform Shakespeare's play The Tempest, directed by Michael Dyer with music by Johnny Coppin.
Shakespeare’s last great play is a triumphant compilation of intrigue, magic, and humour. Prospero, an exiled Duke with supernatural powers, creates a great storm which sees his enemies shipwrecked on his island. Magic abounds, plots are exposed, and a colourful array of characters gain their deserts.
The Festival Players Theatre Company is a professional theatre company, now in their 38th year of delivering the very best in open-air Shakespeare and touring theatre. As in Shakespeare's day, this performance uses an all-male company of skilled professional actors playing all the parts.
