The Tempest - Join the Adult Theatre Performance Project
01 January 2015 - 04 July 2015
Become a member of Chickenshed Kensington and Chelsea’s Adult Theatre and take part in weekly workshops leading to an original performance of Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
Take part in an exciting creative project where participants will develop performance skills and work through a collaborative inclusive process with our experienced artistic team to devise a new version of this classic Shakespeare play.
At the end of the second term, participants will take part in public performances of the piece at the Chelsea Theatre, with full production elements including lights, costume, set and live music.
This final piece is set on a remote, isolated island somewhere off the coast of Britain inhabited by an insular and extraordinary community of characters. The piece will be a dark comedy drawing from contemporary film and television programmes such as The Wicker Man, The League of Gentleman and Shameless. The performance will include movement, music and will be specially written for an ensemble cast.
