Shakespeare meets Treasure Island in swashbuckling comedy The Tempest from all-female theatre company The Whole Pack, coming to The Mermaid Inn on Sunday 23 November.
After a “dazzling debut” production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and a four-star run of Richard II at the Camden Fringe, The Whole Pack Theatre is back with an all-new winter tour. This pirate-themed show is a swashbuckling comedy, with magic, mayhem and sea shanties galore to warm the cockles of your heart on a cold winter’s night.
The Whole Pack is an all-female Shakespeare company that brings something daring and different to impart the magic of Shakespeare’s plays to audiences.
Founders Megan Carter, Mary Anne Coleman, Jessamy James and Meghan Louise Taylor recognised the rich untapped resource of passionate, experienced, creative women whose work deserves to be given a platform – and set out to do just that. “Women contain multitudes,” said Megan Carter. “And we should be able to see all shades and facets of ourselves represented on stage.”
