The Tempest

"All torment, trouble, wonder and amazement inhabits here..." Through movement, original music, and Shakespeare’s transcendent language, We Happy Few reimagines The Tempest on a living, breathing island, its primal magic conjured in the bodies and voices of an eight actor ensemble. The omniscient Prospero stands apart, wielding the island’s power to manipulate monsters and spirits, kings and drunkards, a treacherous brother and a daughter in love. But is harnessing the magic of the island for one’s own ends really worth the isolation it brings?
