THE TEMPEST - RETOLD
Performance storytelling by Debs Newbold
Are all kingdoms founded on acts of violence?
What are the myths we tell ourselves in order to live?
Step into the Tempest…
Exile and loss, power and magic - Debs Newbold brings the fourth of her internationally acclaimed storytelling performances of Shakespeare’s plays to the stage in her usual warm, joyful, and commanding style. The result is a defiant reclamation of the story behind Shakespeare’s final great Tragedy, fusing Shakespeare’s verse and Debs’ own deep imaginings.
Join us and Debs for a ‘First Look’ at this epic, evolving adaptation. Be not afeared; the isle is full of noises…
“She is sublime. A consummate performer” Sam Lee
“A shaman for Shakespeare's meaning” Helen Goulden
“Debs pulls down the spirit of Shakespeare” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ StageTalk Magazine
“Quite simply the finest storyteller I have ever seen and heard" Patrick Spottiswoode - Shakespeare's Globe Education
RUNNING TIME: Approx 90 minutes without interval
SUITABLE FOR adults 14+
CONTENT This performance contains references to enslavement, threat, violence, and sexual violence, contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype and metaphor.
DEBS NEWBOLD is a multi-award winning performer, writer and director who creates fresh, playful work that gets deep under the skin. Playful, accessible and deeply felt, her work creates a space for audiences to explore epic themes.
She has made and performed work for the Royal Opera House, the BBC, Hay Festival, the RSC, and Shakespeare's Globe. She also takes her work to theatres, festival stages and community spaces all over the world.
Her one-woman re-tellings of Shakespeare’s tragedies have toured internationally, and her genre-defying collaborations with internationally renowned director John Wright (Told by an Idiot) have helped re-define contemporary storytelling.
Debs holds a Summerhall Edinburgh Fringe Award and in 2023 she was shortlisted for both an Off West End and Standing Ovation Award for her acclaimed show Lost In Blue.
