THE TEMPEST

​| Studio One, UNSW
​| 7th - 11th March, 2017
| Written by William Shakespeare
| Directed by Casuarina O'Brien
| Produced by Liam Jarvis
About the play
“We are such stuff 
As dreams are made on, and our little life 
Is rounded with a sleep.” 


On an enchanted island filled with spirits and monsters, an overthrown Duke, Prospero, has lived with his innocent daughter, Miranda, for the past twelve years. Yet when Prospero and his sidekick Ariel conjure up a tempest and strand all of Prospero's enemies on the island, things change. Miranda falls in love with the first man she meets, a hilarious duo of lords plot to usurp Prospero's usurpers, and the enslaved spirit Caliban tastes alcohol for the first time and adopts the drunkard Stephano as his god. 

In this bold new production of The Tempest, a unique emphasis on physical performance, and the integration of live music, dance sequences, and silk aerials heightens the sense of metatheatricality and reminds us of the bittersweet impermanence of both art and life.
