I took this photo on my mobile so it is a bit rubbish, but it is the ony record I have of the Tempest performed in the open air at Bignor Park. Local photographer Linda Westmore was there taking official photos which will be a lot better.
The play itself was very well done. The very small cast managed with very few props, no special effects and not even a female to take the part of Miranda. They did a pretty good job keeping everyone's attention right to the end. It isn't the easiest play to do in the open air. There isn't a a huge amount of action and the end is a bit odd to modern ears, with Prospero right at the end dropping out of character and asking for applause. But you had to admire the projection skills of the actors. A very enjoyable night out.
