Summer’s lease

Ah summer. Whether you revel in the heat* or like to sit indoors, wilting slightly, it is undeniably a different experience from the wintry wasteland we Englanders saw only in March.

The Tempest

Iris Theatre (St Paul’s Covent Garden)

The great thing about Iris Theatre productions is you are always transported away from where you are. The Tempest managed to take us – despite the dirt and noise of a London summer (complete with World Cup matches) – to somewhere infinitely more magical.
