About the event

The Tempest - Open Air Shakespeare
EODS are pleased to present "The Tempest" as our popular summer open air Shakespeare production in 2025.

The Tempest revolves around its central character Prospero who, along with his daughter Miranda, have been exiled on a remote island for twelve years. Usurped from his rightful position of The Duke of Milan by his brother Antonio, Prospero has spent his days focused on honing his magical art, awaiting the day he can exact his return to Milan.

Prospero’s chance arises and he conjures a storm to Shipwreck the passing vessel carrying his brother, his nephew and other dignitaries. Antonio and others from the ship remain unharmed and the plot begins to unravel.

It wouldn’t be Shakespeare without the sub-plots, confusion, hilarity and mayhem that ensues. Sebastian and Alonso hatch a plan to K*ll Antonio and Gonzalo. Caliban, the Island dwelling beast, along with the hapless Stephano and Trinculo plot to K*ll Prospero. Can Prospero, aided by his sprite Ariel, arrange the marriage of Miranda and Ferdinand? Will Ariel ever be set free? Will Prospero ultimately regain his position as the Duke of Milan? The tale concludes with all questions answered and Prospero asking the audience to set him free.
