The Tempest in Our Park! – July 8

Heads Up and Save the Date!

A Company of Fools returns to Champlain Park this summer.

Date: Friday July 8, 2022
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Duration: 90 minutes
Play: Shakespeare’s The Tempest

Bring your own chairs, your snacks and drinks, family and friends. The actors request that you pay what you can in cash when they pass the hat at the end of the play. We welcome them back to our park on the 32nd anniversary of their outdoor summer entertainment program in City of Ottawa parks!

From The Fools: A shipwreck. A deserted island. A man with a 12 year-old grudge. Betrayal. Revenge. Magic. And a little bit of power imbalance thrown in for good measure.

Duke Prospero, or should we say ‘ex’ Duke Prospero has been waiting for this moment for 12 long years. Overthrown from power by his very own brother, he has been rehearsing this encounter every night as he fell asleep on the deserted island he found himself banished to.

But, as the ship bearing his arch enemies draws closer and closer, will Prospero reclaim his rule, or falter when new enemies emerge?
