SUMMER WORKSHOP: SHOW IN A WEEK

“Now I will believe that there are unicorns…”

5 days of fun fuelled drama creating a 30-minute contemporary version of Shakespeare's farewell play - a mystical tale filled with villains and lovers, spirits and sprites, monsters and fools!

On a distant island a man waits.

Robbed of his position, power and wealth, and cast adrift with his young daughter, his enemies have left him hungry for revenge. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature and spirits to his will. When a ship carrying the men who wronged him appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean, stirring up a devastating storm that wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing and no one is as they seem!

You can join one of two groups. The first is for ages 11 – 18 (secondary)  who will have an exciting week bringing the characters and story to life in a dynamic performance at the end of the week.

Also performing will be our second group of actors for ages 6 – 11 (primary). They will spend the week creating the characters and costumes of the mysterious sprites and spirits bringing their own special mischievous chaos and mayhem to the island.
