Prospero, privileged among men, has a daughter Miranda. Both are meshed in a world of wealth, comfort and servants; removed from the rigours of life, as we know it. At the dead of night everything ceases to be. Father and child exiled. Put to sea. Twelve years on a father in no way equipped to have been a mother is confronted by his guilt and Miranda’s adolescence. Sorcery, spirits, a king and his son, clowns and villains merge on an isle of sweet airs that will make you think, breathe, speak and forgive. ‘The Tempest’ is healing.
