Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre presents a visually, physically and aurally stunning adaptation of Shakespeare's last play, The Tempest. Directed by Zen Zen Zo Artistic Director Lynne Bradley, this poetic and provocative retelling of Shakespeare's classic features live music and a cast of 21 actors, dancers and singers. The Tempest is the latest in a long line of revitalized classics for Zen Zen Zo (Macbeth: As Told by the Weird Sisters, The Odyssey, Romeo & Juliet, Oedipus and Dracula). It comes fresh from a successful season in Hong Kong in 2008, and promises to "give delight and hurt not..."! Including guest artists, Emma Dean (singer/songwriter) and Bryan Nason (Grin & Tonic Theatre Company's Artistic Director Emeritus), The Tempest is set to be an amazing adventure for all audience memebers. They should expect the unexpected! The production will be presented in promenade theatre style - the audience will be led around the space throughout the show, becoming involved in the action - watch out for the water!
