A lonely planet. A shattered world. A storm waiting to break.
This September, The Lantern presents Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ in a bold new adaptation by Nick Tait.
Transported to an eerie, otherworldly setting, this much-loved classic unfolds on a desolate planet at the far edge of civilisation. Here, Prospero rules with intelligence, bitterness and brilliance, shaping events through magic and manipulation. But when old enemies appear on the horizon, the chance for revenge collides with the possibility of forgiveness, and nothing will ever be the same again.
Filled with memorable characters, unexpected humour and moments of wonder, The Tempest explores power, family, freedom and what it means to let go of the past. This imaginative new production remains true to the heart of Shakespeare’s final masterpiece while transporting audiences to a strange and unforgettable world.
Whether you’re discovering Shakespeare for the first time or returning to a familiar favourite, this ambitious reimagining promises an evening of adventure, intrigue and theatrical magic in the unique surroundings of The Lantern.
