For Prospero a company is a group of people who accepts and values each other’s otherness. It is this inclusivity which is the beating heart of all that we do. We passionately believe that to work with a diverse group of people that live and think in ways that may be considered different offers immense creative opportunities, taking the company to artistic realms we wouldn’t otherwise be able to reach.

As well as inclusivity Prospero is all about ownership. The thoughts and ideas of each and every individual are valued, and collectively power the engine of the community group.

Every Monday, 7:00PM – 9:30PM

Location: Caterham Ex Service Men’s Club, 15 Town End, Caterham CR3 5UJ

When Vamina takes her own life Darienne vows to avenge her death and to find her reborn soul. In Victorian society he finds values he recognises and with them Mina Westenra, sugar millionairess and the woman he has always loved.

A powerful and thought-provoking show that questions the nature of class and femininity, and the price we would pay for the perfect moment.
