Prospero’s Island

Set & Costume Design | Company: Punchdrunk Enrichment | Director: Matthew Blake

An invitation from the Gamesmaster and the appearance of a mysterious key is the beginning of a voyage of discovery for secondary school students and their teachers. Inside the hub and around the school, the completion of each challenge draws them deeper into the world of Shakespeare’s The Tempest…

Prospero’s Island was a project with The Hackney Learning Trust and the Petchey Academy, designed to engage students with Shakespeare. Students are invited into a dark and exciting world of detailed installations, where performers set them team-based challenges to unlock further levels and spaces across their school.
