The Tempest to be staged in Canford School grounds

Fans of Shakespeare should be looking forward to the next production from Brownsea Open Air Theatre (BOAT). They will be performing ‘The Tempest’, which will run from 3–15 August in the grounds of Canford School.

Brian Woolton, director said: “The Tempest is a wonderful play to stage outdoors – it’s full of magic, mischief and imagination. The play is very dear to BOAT’s heart and it’s sure to make fantastic evenings of theatre. We’re looking forward to welcoming audiences back this summer and sharing the story with them.

“On a personal level, having acted and directed for BOAT many times before, I am delighted to have been asked to lead this year’s company again.”

Originally founded in 1964 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth, BOAT began performing on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour before moving to the mainland.
