The Tempest

Step into a world where Shakespeare meets 1980s fantasy as Te Kawau Toi's third-year Performing Arts students present William Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Inspired by the magical, dreamlike worlds of cult fantasy films such as Labyrinth, this bold reimagining transports audiences to an enchanted island filled with eccentric characters, mystical creatures, striking visuals, and a touch of nostalgic '80s flair. When a powerful storm shipwrecks a group of strangers, long-buried betrayals, unexpected romance, and the chance for redemption begin to unfold under the watchful eye of the sorcerer Prospero.
