FIRST ENCOUNTERS: THE TEMPEST

Directed by Aaron Parsons
Set and Costume Design by Aldo Vázquez
Composer and Sound Design by Jack Drewy

Following the success of last year’s Romeo and Juliet, the latest in our series of First Encounters with Shakespeare productions makes Shakespeare’s play about families, magic and forgiveness relevant for a new generation of theatregoers. This 80-minute version of The Tempest uses an edited version of the original play to create the perfect introduction for young people aged 7-13 and their families.
