The Tempest by William Shakespeare

Set in a not-too distant future, Prospero, an Indian neuro-scientist, is robbed of his inheritance and exiled to a distant island with his daughter. He experiments on two natives, Ariel and Caliban, bending them to his will with promises of freedom from slavery.

Hearing his old adversaries are on a cruise, Prospero engineers a tempest to bring them to his island, wreck his revenge and regain his birthright.

Tara celebrates its 30th year with a modern production of what many consider to be Shakespeare’s final play - full of magic, manipulation and reconciliation.

With live music.
