Regent’s Park Open Air theatre, London
Child-friendly adaptation that features an airborne chicken takeaway and Prospero casting spells with an iPad is a lovely introduction to Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s enchanted isle is an environmentally friendly haven surrounded by recycled detritus in this child-friendly reimagining – even if Prospero (Mark Theodore) subjects islanders to generating the eco-powered energy needed to keep it running.

Prospero’s magic is conjured by the help of an iPad while the island’s captured creatures, Ariel (Juliet Agnes) and Caliban (Ashley D Gayle), wear luminous tubes around their bodies that contract whenever they disobey their imperial master.

At Regent’s Park Open Air theatre, London , until 22 July. Then at the Unicorn theatre, London , from 19 September-15 October.
