The Tempest
“Be not afeard! The Isle is full of noises”
Shakespeare Project
A bare school hall – a class of young people - some actors – a few props and costumes – some words written over 400 years ago –mix them all together and experience the power and imagination of the greatest playwright the world has ever produced.
Theatr Iolo will create a production of The Tempest and tour it to Years 7, 8 and 9 in High Schools during February and March 2009. This will be a specially abridged version designed to appeal to and engage young people in the “rich and strange” world, story, themes, characters and language of one of Shakespeare’s best loved plays
.
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on”
The project is an ideal introduction to Shakespeare.
