The Tempest at Kilkenny Arts Festival 2022

From Rough Magic and Kilkenny Arts Festival, the award-winning team that brought you A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Much Ado About Nothing, comes a new take on Shakespeare’s classic, filled with magic, mischief, music and romance.
Eleanor Methven, one of Ireland’s most celebrated actresses, takes on the iconic role of Prospero, the deposed ruler turned elemental sorcerer.
The fury of the storm she conjures hurls her enemies onto her shores - but it also brings a sad young prince, to the delighted curiosity of her daughter Miranda. Is their attraction a trick of fate - or the spectacle and sorcery of the enchanted island?
A dark comedy filled with magic, music, mischief and romance, told beneath the Kilkenny summer skies.
3 - 13 August
