One of The Bard’s finest beams live
FROM THE ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY COMES THE TEMPEST DIRECT TO SCREEN
NEXT month, at Theatr Colwyn, enjoy Shakespeare’s The Tempest, when it is broadcast live from the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon- Avon.
Simon Russell Beale returns to the RSC after 20 years to play Prospero in this groundbreaking production directed by Artistic Director Gregory Doran, and you can watch the performance at the Colwyn Bay theatre on January 11, at 7pm.
On a distant island a man waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, Prospero’s enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will.
When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fan- tastical island where nothing is as it seems.
In a unique partnership with Intel, the production will be using today’s most advanced technology in a bold reimagining of Shakespeare’s magical play, creating an unforgettable theatrical experience.
