What is it?

Controlled Chaos UK presents The Tempest by William Shakespeare at the Brockley Jack Studio Theatre in London, from Tuesday 13th February to Saturday 3rd March.

Beware the spirits of the air, the monsters of the earth and the wrath of dangerous sorcerers.

Suspended in time on an enchanted island, Duke Prospero lives in exile, comforted by his daughter Miranda and served by his sprite Ariel and Caliban, his slave.

With nothing to do Prospero becomes obsessed by revenge. When storms wash up new travellers to these shores, vengeance at last seems within reach. But with the arrival of strangers, Miranda discovers temptations of the flesh, and Caliban plots to murder his master.

Controlled Chaos’ all female production of The Tempest shakes the ground with its bold re-imagining of William Shakespeare’s final dark comedy.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
