Strange Frames present The Tempest at the Electric Palace

Strange Frames and Jarman Now present an afternoon of magic and mystery, with Derek Jarman’s spellbinding adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Starring punk icon Toyah Willcox as Miranda, and poet, Heathcote Williams as Prospero, Jarman’s The Tempest is an anachronistic and expressionistic film, punctuated by deliriously camp theatric spectacle.

The film exhibits an ethereal magic inspired by Jarman’s own practice of alchemy and Ingmar Bergman’s Hour of the Wolf, in which “the whole landscape is alive with apparitions and malevolent dreams” whilst distinctly avoiding cliched horror tropes.

Join us for a deeply personal film, manifested through the words of William Shakespeare. With introduction from Strange Frames’ Katie Spooner and talk from Jarman Now’s Elisa Oliver.
