The Tempest

22 - 24 May 2025

Presented by Hunter Drama

Stranded on a mysterious island, a vengeful sorcerer conjures a storm that sets a grand reckoning in motion.

Betrayal, magic, and romance collide in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, a tale of power, forgiveness, and the forces that shape our destinies. With dynamic performances and inventive storytelling, Hunter Drama’s Performance Troupe brings new energy to this classic masterpiece.

Step into a world where spirits roam, justice is tested, and the power of magic— and humanity—reigns supreme.
