The Tempest

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Shakespeare North playhouse - The Handlebards

★★★★ “A masterclass in the absurd, The Tempest is Shakespeare like you’ve ever seen it before. Much like what would happen if The Mighty Boosh did Shakespeare, the Handlebards transformed The Tempest into a full-blown comedy, with only some compromise on the impact of its more serious themes. You won’t believe your eyes.” the Reviews hub

★★★★ “an extremely entertaining night out with a genuinely talented, hard-working cast who will have you in stitches!” Theatre and Tonic

★★★★★ “Shakespeare North’s Tempest is everything great theatre should be – funny, moving, beautifully crafted, and completely transportive. It’s a night of storytelling that sweeps you up, shakes you about, and leaves you both lighter and more thoughtful than when you arrived.” Marvellous Mrs P

★★★★ “a hallucinatory Paul Daniels-meets-Strictly interlude involving illusions and card tricks which builds to a frenetic, crowd-pleasing finale.” Arts CIty Liverpool
