The musical show, which will be staged for a one-off performance this Saturday night, December 6, from 7pm, follows Ashton’s popular takes on Austen (Promise and Promiscuity) and Dickens (Olive Copperbottom).
In the world of The Tempestuous, 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.
What could possibly go wrong?
Described as "literary comedy gold" and "a masterclass in adaptation", The Tempestuous is an Elizabethan tale of magic, meddling, and puffed bull’s pizzles, as Ashton offers her own unique and hilarious take on the immortal words of the Bard.
For Saturday’s show, the audience will be seated on the Regent Theatre stage.
