Mixed Salad Productions Presents an Adaptation of Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST, Beginning 5/25
MixEd Salad Productions is set to cause a storm with a hilarious, sinister and sensational adaptation of Shakespeare's Tempest. The show will run from May 25th through June 5th.
In this version drugs, drink, lust and revenge cause a storm on an island paradise.
Director Sally Putnam was inspired to re-tell Shakespeare's comedy during a holiday to Bali.
"I saw holiday-makers behaving badly and watched how the locals reacted to these visitors," said Sally. "It reminded me of the power struggles in The Tempest.
"While we've given the play a contemporary setting, the words and the story are all Shakespeare's. We've simply made the tale more accessible to a modern audience."
Top local actor Peter Davies plays the central role of Prospero with Todd Clappis, Geoff Dawes, Oliver de Rohan, Carla Hardie, RoseMary Jackson, Fiona Lardner, Sharon Malujlo, Lesley Reed, Bronwyn Ruciak, Nicole Rutty, Dave Simms and Jamie Wright.
The set will also be a challenge with the crew barrowing in six tons of sand to form a real beach inside the theatre.
