After wowing the crowds at this year’s Hamilton Arts Festival The Tempestuous is back!

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.

This Halloween, award winning comedian Penny Ashton (Promise and Promiscuity, Olive Copperbottom, The Panel RNZ) will present her latest literary solo musical in this hilarious Shakespearean frolic. She’ll spark 11 characters into life in an Elizabethan tale of witches, magic, meddling and puffed bull’s pizzles.

“Incredibly clever, the script is just so smart.” Radio NZ

“She’s such an entertaining storyteller and huge fun. The audience loved it.” Theatreview 2024

“…an excellently written script that Shakespeare himself would be proud of.” Theatrescenes.
