This Island's Mine

Ariel was always here.
Caliban was born here.
And Stephano has just arrived.
They all claim ‘this island’s mine’. But do any of them have that right? And what happens if they can’t agree?
Set in the extraordinary world of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Roustabout present a playful and daring exploration of the place we choose to call home. Filled with magic, music and mayhem, this show explores themes of colonialism, identity and place, encouraging young people to ask: Where do I belong? Where is my home? Is it truly mine?
For KS2 and above.
This Island's Mine for schools
Developed with the support of Tobacco Factory Theatres, This Island’s Mine is now available for schools and universities.
We’re thrilled to announce that the full production, filmed at the Burton Taylor Studio at the Oxford Playhouse, is now available via the subscription platform, DigitalTheatre+.
We also have a comprehensive Education Pack available, developed in partnership with the One Bristol Curriculum and the University of Bristol.
This includes a filmed staged reading of the production, commentary on the play from experts, teachers, students, and the creative team, and further reading materials which help put the play and its themes in its social and historical context, and provide stimuli for further debate and research.
Please contact us by emailing shout@roustabouttheatre.co.uk if you would like any further information.
"This is really speaking to our students… we can do something wonderful… this is cutting edge curriculum development."
