Donmar Trilogy: The Tempest

a raging storm

Harriet Walter stars as Prospero in this much praised final work of Phyllida Lloyd's all-female adaptation of Shakespeare for the Donmar Trilogy, playing in rep alongside Julius Caesar and Henry IV at a brand new 420 seat theatre-in-the-round at King's Cross.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The third play of Lloyd's all-female Bard trilogy to hit the stage in recent years, The Tempest's prison setting provides a timely and socially relevant spin on the search for freedom and personal justice within a confined and isolated setting. With Orange Is The New Black having been released back onto our screens, this engagement pays tribute to one of the most disenfranchised and voiceless members of society, namely female prisoners, all elevated with the rich language of Shakespeare - making it a must-see for both Bard fans and newcomers to his work.

Lloyd is one of London's most revered female directors and playwrights, having worked with the established Donmar Warehouse on productions including Henry IV, Julius Caesar, Boston Marriage, The Threepenny Opera and Mary Stuart. Walter has won two Olivier Awards to date, including one for her role in the 2005 production of Mary Stuart; she was nominated for a Tony Award for the same role when it transferred to Broadway in 2009.
