Storytelling Shakespeare: THE TEMPEST

Following the success of Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet, KLSP brings another fun, entertaining and captivating storytelling of Shakespeare’s masterpiece: The Tempest. 

In the 60-minute performance, three storytellers use puppets and projections to create an enchanted island. They reveal a tale of magic, revenge, love, and forgiveness, interacting with the audience throughout the show.

Together with the storytellers, the audience will create a storm, sing Ariel’s song, join in with the fairy feast and laugh at the antics of Caliban and the sailors. After the performance, the audience will discover that they have learnt key lines from the play, enabling them to retell the tale and even connect to the moral lessons drawn from the story.
