The Tempestuous: A Shrew’d New Comedy by Will Shakespeare & Penny Ashton

Sicily’s beloved King Enzo is dead. Now Princess Rosa, a stroppy spinster, must navigate the tempestuous waters of belching Step-Fathers, lusty suitors, popping cod pieces and menopausal witches, to face her destiny. Award Winning New Zealander Penny Ashton (Promise and Promiscuity) is heading to the home of the bard to add some Kiwi sizzle to the canon. She’ll spark 11 characters into life in an Elizabethan tale of magic, meddling and puffed bull’s pizzles, that “Shakespeare himself would be proud of”. (Theatrescenes)
