Be part of Shakespeare in the making: 'The Tempest Retold' world premiere
The Willow Globe is delighted to host the world premiere of The Tempest Retold, an inaugural, work‑in‑progress solo performance by multi‑award‑winning storyteller Debs Newbold, on Saturday, 2 August —a very special occasion, as her previous trilogy; Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet and King Lear, all debuted at Shakespeare’s Globe in London.
Audiences are invited to witness the fourth instalment of Debs Newbold’s acclaimed Shakespeare adaptations in its very first public iteration.
