The Tempest
Show dates : July 24 - August 2
The Tempest
On the rim of the world lies an island stitched from wind and memory, where spirits drift like echoes and the sea itself keeps watch. Here a weary sorcerer clutches his fading power, summoning storms to guard a past he cannot release. In this dreamlike reimagining of The Tempest, Shakespeare’s tale unfolds as living myth: silk that moves like water, voices that shimmer like spells, and shadows that remember every trespass.
When shipwrecked sailors stagger onto its shores, the island awakens- ancient, restless and hungry for truth. As Prospero’s magic unravels, love and vengeance entwine, and mercy becomes the rarest enchantment of all.
Step inside and let the island choose what you become.
It Runs In The Family
Show dates : October 16 - 25
If you are a leading surgeon in London’s most prestigious hospital, delivering the “Lecture of the Year” to two hundred of the world’s leading neurologists, the last thing you want is a mistress from 18 years ago arriving unexpectedly.
Just as Dr Mortimore is preparing for his big moment, Jane Tate, a former nurse and long‑forgotten romantic fling, turns up and drops a bombshell: that their brief affair produced a child, now 18, who is currently in the hospital looking for his father.
Dr Mortimore, desperate to protect his reputation, tries to hide the truth. But in true Cooney fashion, every outrageous lie spawns three more, and the situation spirals into a whirlwind of mistaken identities, slamming doors, and frantic improvisation.
Typical madcap complications ensue, involving faithful friend, Dr. Bonney, a police sergeant, Dr. Mortimore’s wife, a severe hospital matron, Dr. Bonney’s mother and a patient who makes the most of being dragged into the whole maelstrom.
