The production of The Tempest can be seen on Wednesday January 25. He will play Prospero in this ground-breaking production which has been critically acclaimed for its special effects.

On a distant island a man waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control ‘The Tempest’ and bend nature to his will.

When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.

The screening starts at 7pm. For further information on ticket availability, pricing or to book online visit www.octagonfilms.org.uk or www.harboroughtheatre.co.uk.
