The Tempestuous

Show Info

Sicily’s beloved King Enzo is dead.

Now Princess Rosa, a stroppy spinster, must navigate the tempestuous waters of belching Step-Fathers, lusty suitors, popping cod pieces and menopausal witches, to face her destiny. 

Award Winning Comedian Penny Ashton (Promise and Promiscuity, Olive Copperbottom) presents her latest literary solo musical with this world premiere Shakespearean frolic. 

She’ll spark 13 characters into life in an Elizabethan tale of magic, meddling and puffed bull’s pizzles. 

Promise and Promiscuity:

“Go if you dearly love a laugh” Dominion Post

★★★★★  “a delight” Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

★★★★ “Sparkling” The Scotsman

Olive Copperbottom:


“It sparkles with intelligence, wit and verve.” – The ChCh Press

“You’ll laugh and cheer at this tremendous performance from an absolute star, and hopefully it will bring a little sunshine into these bleak times.” Wellingtonista
