Join us for a second season at Canford School with our outdoor production of The Tempest
Step into a world where power, magic, and illusion collide in a spectacular tale of revenge, forgiveness, and transformation. Shipwrecked on a remote island, the exiled Prospero is faced with a choice - exact revenge for past wrongs, or show mercy and forgiveness and return to a "brave new world".
Blending live performance, music, and striking visual effects, this production will bring to life a world where power is tested and forgiveness becomes its own kind of magic. Thoughtful, imaginative, and provocative, The Tempest is Shakespeare’s final play — and one of his most moving.
Performances from 3rd to 15th August 2026.
Tickets are £29.00*.

Arrangements for bad weather
BOAT will not cancel a scheduled performance at the first sign of rain and will attempt to perform if possible and safe to do so even if it rains during the performance. Patrons should take responsibility to cater for weather by wearing or bringing sensible appropriate clothing. Patrons are requested not to use umbrellas in the auditorium. BOAT monitors weather forecasts throughout the day and up-to-date information will be available online and on the mobile telephone service that BOAT provide on performance dates.
If adverse weather is deemed by BOAT to be too severe, or is causing health and safety concerns in the auditorium or on stage, then a performance may be cancelled even if it has already started. BOAT Management will take responsibility for deciding whether a performance goes ahead and that decision is final.
For 2026, for the first time at a BOAT production, each ticket will be for one specific performance with no scheduled contingency. Should a performance be cancelled - or abandoned before the interval - ticket holders will be offered to exchange their tickets to a later performance or any replacement performance subsequently arranged (likely to be the following Thursday or Sunday evening). However, ticket holders not wishing to exchange to another date can claim a refund. See our full Terms and Conditions for more information
