THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Shakespeare: The Tempest
Jade Anouka (Ariel); Sheila Atim (Ferdinand); Jackie Clune (Stefano); Shiloh Coke (Sebastian); Karen Dunbar (Trinculo); Leah Harvey (Miranda); Zainab Hasan (Gonzalo); Jennifer Joseph (Officer); Martina Laird (Alonso); Sophie Stanton (Caliban); Carolina Valdés (Antonio); Harriet Walter (Prospero)
The final instalment in the Donmar Warehouse’s all-female Shakespeare Trilogy sees Harriet Walter take on the role of Prospero in this evocation of the eternal struggle for freedom, morality and justice. Directed for both stage and screen by Phyllida Lloyd.
Set on an isle ‘full of noises’, this magical production features a glowing score by Joan Armatrading. Critics celebrated the original staging as ‘A glorious reminder that genuine diversity offers astonishing creative benefits’.
The Donmar Shakespeare Trilogy began in 2012 with an all-female production of Julius Caesar led by Dame Harriet Walter. Set in a women’s prison, the production asked the question, ‘Who owns Shakespeare?’ Two further productions followed: Henry IV in 2014 and The Tempest in 2016, all featuring a diverse company of women. The Trilogy enthralled theatre audiences in London and New York and was shared with women and girls in prisons and schools across the UK. The film versions were shot live in a specially built temporary theatre in King’s Cross in 2016, and now offer screen audiences unique access to these groundbreaking productions.

"Lloyd's production - with its clever framing device ... - is a glorious reminder that genuine diversity on stage offers astonishing creative benefits" (The Guardian ★★★★★)
"Beautifully staged ... Walter is a superbly compassionate Prospero controlling all around her with a kind of aching sorrow. The total joy of the entire event is seeing a group of women actresses liberated to perform Shakespeare with such profound insight and understanding." (WhatsOn Stage)
"A brilliantly bracing new version of 'The Tempest' completes Phyllida Lloyd's inspired trilogy of all-female Shakespeare productions... There have been many high-high profile Shakespeare productions to mark 400 years since his death. Lloyd's 'Tempest' is my personal favourite." (The Independent ★★★★★)
