On the amateur/campus Shakespeare end of the spectrum, this gender-blind production was billed as 'a story of possibility, of picking ourselves up when the worst has happened': quite appropriate, then, that this uproariously funny, fast-paced, and compassionate Tempest premiered the week after the US election.

From Emer McHugh on audience demographics:
“On the night I attended the production, the audience was largely made up of undergraduate students, some of whom were clearly friends/acquaintances of those involved in the production, as well as a number of university/society alumni who knew members of the creative team, and teaching staff (including myself).”
