The Tempest (2022)

The Tempest (2022)
By William Shakespeare

After the success of HAMLET in 2019, our second production in our Shakespeare Trilogy presented as part of the Dar al Athar al Islamiyyah Cultural Season under the National Council for Culture Arts & Letters, is a comedy and fantasy which will be involve with Children’s imagination, Fantasy, Humanity, Family and Friendship.

The play was written circa 1611 and is considered one of William Shakespeare’s last few plays before he retired from the Theatre World.

In this version, initially set in a modern school class, Professor Prospero, a teacher, has summoned the student Sam to read a passage from ‘The Tempest’ . As he begins to read the first scene, the class is suddenly transported into the story, to a fantastical world; an island of imagination of spirits, creatures and a sorcerer who guards the island.

The Tempest is Shakespeare's last play before his retirement, a play that looks forward, and carries great hope for the future of humanity.
