Come along to the Rondo Theatre Co's July social play reading for a sneak preview of our Spring 2027 show - another Shakespeare classic: The Tempest!
🗓️ Tuesday 7th July 2026
⏰ 7:00pm for a 7:30 start
📍 Rondo Theatre, Bath, BA1 6RT
🎟️ FREE TO ATTEND
The tale of The Tempest follows Prospero, a deposed Duke living on a mysterious island where he commands spirits and magic. When a ship carrying old enemies sails nearby, Prospero conjures a powerful storm to bring them ashore. As the castaways explore the strange island, secrets surface, alliances shift, and Prospero carefully orchestrates events from the shadows.
The Tempest is the last play Shakespeare wrote entirely by himself (supposedly!) and is widely considered to be his love letter to theatre, beautifully blending music, song and prose.
Jazz Hazelwood-Rose will be at the helm for this one, so expect some gender-queering, silliness, and a dash of chaos. The text has already been stripped back to create a punchy script, with themes both funny and heartfelt. It'll be a very relaxed evening - all you need to bring is yourself and maybe a snack or two to share!
Please note: this isn't an audition, but is a chance for Jazz to see the script in its edited form and for everyone to have a relaxed, sociable evening.
Any questions ahead of time can be emailed to Jazz: jazzghazelwood@gmail
or to the committee:

See you there! Hopefully it won't be quite so sweltering, but there are good fans at the theatre to help set the scene for a raging storm and to keep us cool! 🥵
