The Tempest


  • Glasgow Botanic Gardens 730 Great Western Road Glasgow, Scotland, G12 0UE United Kingdom (map)

“If by your art, my dearest father, you have
Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them”

On an enchanted island, a mighty magician raises a terrible storm and plots revenge on those who have wronged him.

In a solitary glasshouse, a daughter must learn to say goodbye to the father she has known and loved as a terrible illness takes hold of him.

In a care home, through a haze of fractured memories, an old man must come to terms with the events of his past and his own disintegrating mind.

In this new version of Shakespeare’s final play, past and present, reality and fantasy collide in a hauntingly beautiful story of love, loss and learning to let go.

RUNNING TIME: 1hr 40mins (this is currently an approximate running time and will be updated closer to the production’s opening date)
