About Oxford Theatre Guild: The Tempest
Oxford Theatre Guild is delighted to be back in the Oxford University Parks for their 2022 outdoor performances of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
“How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world, that has such people in’t.”
Witness the enchanted world of Prospera, Caliban, Ariel and Miranda in a natural outdoor setting in the University Parks.
Twelve years ago, Prospera, formerly the Duchess of Milan, was usurped by Alonso, King of Naples, and Alonso’s brother, Sebastian and cast adrift with her three-year-old daughter, Miranda.
They now live on an island. Desiring revenge, Prospera uses her powerful magic to cause a great storm which shipwrecks her enemies.
This outdoor production of Shakespeare’s well-loved play The Tempest is directed by Michael Corbidge and Martha Gray.
Age guidance: There isn’t a lower age limit for children, but parents are advised to accompany younger children.
Duration: 120 minutes, including an interval
Venue: Picked Mead (near the pond) at Oxford University Parks
Doors open: 30 minutes before the performance starts
