About this project
Lillian Kaufmann from English Theatre Leipzig e.V. is responsible for this project
“Every storm feels like it will never end, until it does.
Every dream feels like reality until you wake up.
Stories don’t always twist in the way you expect.”
About the Play: An Island in the Stormy Sea is a new play written in modern English, based on the works of Shakespeare, primarily The Tempest. The play reinvents the story of Prospero, Miranda and the island they call home, bringing to the forefront themes of overcoming oppression and trauma, celebrating queerness, and love being stronger than hate. Guided by the ethereal Trickster, audiences will see that in the end it is how we tell stories that really matters.
About us: Both cast and crew are made up of people who share a deep love for theatre. We are happy to dedicate a large portion of our free time to this project and having the necessary financial means to see every idea through makes this work even more fulfilling.
The magic of theatre lies in its ability to bring people together, to escape reality and share an evening of illusion. We welcome you to our world—our shared illusion—and with your help, we can make it a reality.
