Preston Hedges Trust Presents – A Tempest Experience

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

All the schools in the Preston Hedges Trust have been working with Silhouette Youth to create an original work around Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest. Each school will perform a piece of drama, a piece of dance and an original song, written by them, in response to the play. This is a true celebration of the power of the Performing Arts and how Shakespeare’s work is more relevant today then it has ever been. We can’t wait to show you what we have created.
