In Master Oh's adaptation Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' is transported to 5th Century Korea in this dramatic re imagining and adaptation of his final and most poetic play.
King Zilzi, immersed in his study of Taoist magic, leaves the care of his Kingdom in the hands of King Zabi. While he is away, Zabi takes control and with the help of Zilzi's brother, Soji, banishes him from his lands. Inspired by a true story from the Korean Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Tae-Suk Oh's The Tempest blends extraordinary historical fact with Shakespearean fiction, infusing both with elements of traditional Korean culture and folklore. With music played on traditional Korean instruments and incorporationin richly layered costumes, this fantastical producion explores the limitations and possiblities of human nature through the acts of betrayal, love, forgiveness and eventual reconciliation.

The Tempest was one of the most powerful high performance fighters to see operational service in World War Two and extended the boundaries of piston-engined powered flight. Built on lessons learned earlier in the conflict it was designed to be a fast, manoeuvrable, heavily armed, high altitude interceptor. By the time it came into service, towards the end of the war, the German fighter forces had been decimated and it became a highly successful adversary of enemy ground troops and V1 Flying Bombs.
This particular aircraft was too late for active service and spent its operational life towing targets for air-to-air gunnery practice. The undersides are painted with black and yellow stripes to make it obvious that it was the tug not the target!
What makes this a Milestone Aircraft?
The Tempest was one of the last piston-engined front line fighters demonstrating the maximum performance that could be achieved with a piston engine and propeller combination.

We cat-sat last weekend since my daughter was moving and needed a safe and comforting place for her cat, Tempest, my grandson, while she moved. He's not too fond of Shayla, who generally would like to play, but they deal.
