About The Tempest at Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in London

Prospero, Miranda, Caliban and Ariel.

Four lost souls stranded on this island with no hope of escape.

As the years pass them by, they tell themselves a story - a story that is told over and over and over.

A story of past wrongs. A story of desire and revenge. A story of a storm that will rescue and redeem them. As story that conjures other characters out of thin air. An imagined enchantment.

But will that salvation ever really come?
