The Royal & Derngate's final tribute to William Shakespeare 400 years since his death is his last masterpiece, The Tempest.

The show is a co-production with Made in Northampton working with the National Youth Theatre and can be seen from Thursday, June 23, to Saturday, July 2.

Set on a remote island of villains, lovers, fools and outcasts, The Tempest is a tale of enlightenment and forgiveness. Conjuring up a supernatural world of sorcery, savagery, shipwrecks and chivalry, Shakespeare’s late play is the Bard at his most mystical and audacious.
