The Tempest - Open Air Theatre (Matinee Performance)
Thursday 8 July 2010
12.30pm - 2.30pm
A matinee showing especially for schools.
The Lord Chamberlain’s Men are returning to Harewood for an open air theatre 
performance of Shakespeare’s magical tale of romance, justice and vengeance, The Tempest.
With elements of adventure, masque, fantasy, the supernatural, fairy tale, and also a love story the Tempest will be an exciting summer show!
Perfect for English, History, Drama and Art students.
Just as it was originally performed - there will be wandering minstrels before the start of the show and schools will have the opportunity to join in a 15 minute question and answer session after the show to speak to the actors about their roles.
A brief plot synopsis...
King Alonso of Naples, his son Ferdinand and their entourage encounter a violent storm and are washed ashore on a strange island inhabited by the magician Prospero, his beautiful daughter Miranda, Ariel, a sprite who carries out the bidding of Prospero, and the ugly, half human Caliban. Miranda has never set her eyes upon any human being other than her father and when she is immediately struck with the beauty of Ferdinand, her life on the island is turned upside down. The story follows this affair, but not without first taking the audience on a truly magical journey of love, comedy, revenge and forgiveness.
