Follow the play’s magical characters as they explore the island and find out what happens when strangers are washed onto their land.

This is a playful, interactive adventure using puppetry and storytelling, transporting the audience to a magical island in the middle of the ocean where wondrous things can happen.

Consider also booking for Stories on Strings Puppet Making Workshop in the morning for ages 7-11, led by the Tempest in a Tea Cup cast.
