CREDITON Arts Centre’s acting company takes on Shakespeare’s late-career masterpiece in an outdoor touring production.

Prospero, powerful magician and the rightful Duke of Milan, is stranded on a remote island with no-one except his young daughter, a resentful half-human creature and magical spirits for company. How will he react when a ship full of his enemies passes close by?

Touring to green spaces in villages around Mid Devon, The Tempest follows previous on from tours of The Merry Wives of Windsor and Much Ado About Nothing.

It will play at Lapford Mill (June 19); Crediton Parish Church car park (June 20); Sandford Millennium Green (June 21); Shobrooke Park (June 26); Newton St Cyres Arboretum (June 27/28); St Andrew’s Church, Colebrooke (July 3); Morchard Bishop Playing Field (July 4); Lower Woodbeare, Kennerleigh (July 5).
