The Tempest - 2nd April 2011

The Movement Company's "The Tempest" 

Having read some good reviews of this production, I was interested to see it for myself and I was not disappointed. 'The Tempest' written in the latter part of Shakespeare's life, is seen by many as his farewell to his art.  Benjamin Blyth, the director, and his company of young actors, brought their own innovations to the plays using music, dance, masks, and puppetry to bring the production alive.Their energy and enthusiasm was infectious although I was concerned that at times their energy almost concealed some of the dialogue.  I hope that this company retusn to the Barnfield and that they command a bigger audience, they deserve it.
