Now I wouldn't have imagined that it was house confinement to lead me back to The Tempest. But life is full of twists and turns, isn't it? Some times more than others. Just as The Tempest suggests, in fact. 

Ten years ago, probably about now, I'll have been auditioning for our Tempest. Negotiating with Leith and the Council to get a licence to do it on Leith's Mary of Guise barge in the Fringe. Off we went. A fortnight in each other's pockets and it was a wonderful isle full of memories from start to finish.

Ten years on, the shipwreck takes to zoom. Brainchild of Creation Theatre, it was a brave beautiful brilliant flight of fancy.
