We will be showing the 2016 production of the play, as well as providing resources to help students get the most out of the broadcast. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION The Tempest was performed at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon as part of the winter 2016-17 season before moving to the Barbican Theatre in London. It was created in collaboration with Intel and in association with The Imaginarium Studios, and used groundbreaking technology to create a digital avatar of Ariel that was controlled by and projected alongside actor Mark Quartley to add a sense of magic and wonder to the performance. For this production, Prospero was played by Simon Russell Beale, with Jenny Rainsford as Miranda and Joe Dixon as Caliban.
