THE TEMPEST
By William Shakespeare
Performed by the Shepherd’s Purse Theatre Company
@ Flutterbies Cottage Cafe
The magic of The Tempest, Shakespeare’s profound final masterpiece blending drama and comedy, is coming to Tyalgum this July!
As part of our Annual Midwinter Shakespeare banquet event, we will be staging this mystical tale at Flutterbies Cottage Cafe on July 18th-20th, 2024. And featuring an original musical score by Emmy award-winning composer Paul Englishby! You’re invited to immerse yourself in the enchanted world of Prospero’s isle for an evening of feasting, drama, and medieval merriment. The story’s powerful themes of forgiveness, redemption and renewal after harrowing trials deeply resonate with our community’s own journey. As Prospero proclaims: “The rarer action is in virtue than in vengeance.” Let this production inspire you to embrace personal growth out of life’s stormiest moments. Mark your calendars and save those dates, friends! Flutterbies will transform into the perfect setting for experiencing all the mystery, mirth and miracles befitting Shakespeare’s sublime parting gift to the theatre. The countdown to opening night begins now! Stay tuned for more details coming very soon on this highly anticipated production. We can’t wait to have you join us for The Tempest’s spellbinding tale this July. Let us know if you’re already making plans to attend!
