Northcott Young Creatives present

The Tempest?

  • Show Information

Step into a world of artistic innovation as the Northcott Young Creatives proudly present a cutting-edge production of Shakespeare’s timeless classic The Tempest. In this audacious reinterpretation, we challenge tradition by transporting this enchanting tale to the modern stage of… an oil rig?

Failed Stage Magician Prospero has taken up residence on an oil rig after being cast out of the Magic Circle. We find him plotting his revenge on the group that shunned him when one of his stunts went awry.

Join our crew of mismatched magicians and makeshift mechanics as they explore a brave new world where Shakespeare’s story collides with slightly naff stage magic, in an adventure that will surely be told through the ages.
