Eye of the Storm

by Charles Way

“Who am I? Where am I going?”

When we are young it is a struggle to work out who we are and what we want to be. But we need to be in control of our own life-changing decisions. Miranda is locked in an explosive battle of wills with her father Prospero. He tells her “you are quarrelsome, untidy, ungrateful, insolent, moody, tetchy, self-willed and selfish too” Eye of the Storm, a play by Charles Way, one of Britain’s leading writers for young people, offers a contemporary version of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, exploring father/daughter relationships, falling in love, and the need for independence.
