About This Show

Prospero, Duke of Milan, his dukedom usurped by his brother Antonio, is put to sea with his daughter Miranda and some magical books smuggled in by his loyal councillor Gonzalo. The sea casts them up on an island where Prospero, exercising his magical powers, makes a home for himself and Miranda. One day a great storm, which Prospero has conjured, breaks up a passing ship and delivers to him the members of his usurping court. Treacherous brother, fellow conspirators and old friend alike come under Prospero’s spell. Shakespeare’s last play.

Join the four-strong, all-female HandleBards troupe at the start of their summer-long tour for a raucous bicycle-powered production, filled with magic, music and Shakespearean mayhem!
