Easter May Week

On a small island in the Adriatic, the exiled wizard Prospero exacts a magical revenge on his enemies that has been eleven years in the planning. Join fools, fairies and princes for BATS’ fifty-ninth May Week Shakespeare play.

In a setting not too distant from Whitehall Palace, where James I watched the first performance in 1611, we bring ‘The Tempest’ to Cambridge. Sit outside in the sunshine for a production that marries the conventions of Jacobean theatre with modern technology to present Shakespeare’s valedictory play; part comedy, part wistful musing on life, love and power.
