Ethan Taylor As associate artistic director Ethan Taylor – one of the four actors in the production – explains: “It is really going to be quite pertinent for us. Last year, The Tempest was the first show we had to cancel when everything started shutting down in March. We had planned to go out with The Tempest in April last year. “And then suddenly it was not going to happen. We had already done quite a fair deal of the marketing. We had booked the tour. We hadn’t started rehearsals. We hadn’t quite got to that stage, but it was still very upsetting. There were a lot of sad emails being sent around those first few weeks, having had to pull the show.
