The Tempest in London

Prospero, once a duke and now a magician, rules a hidden, enchanted island, with his loyal but tricky servant, the air-spirit Ariel, and the resentful, monstrous Caliban, who secretly plots to overthrow his master. When a storm wrecks a ship full of noblemen on their island, Prospero's daughter falls in love with the young Ferdinand, while Prospero and Ariel torment the shipwrecked crew with tricks and illusions. But in this version of The Tempest, all is not as it seems...

Shakespeare's enchanting story of power and freedom returns in a stunning revival with this unique, theatrical approach by award-winning theatre-maker Tim Crouch (I, Malvolio, An Oak Tree), starring Crouch himself as Prospero, Faizal Abdullah as Caliban, Sophie Steer as Miranda, and Naomi Wirthner as Ariel. Witness a take on The Tempest as you've never seen it before, where these lost, stranded characters seek escape from their island prison by telling themselves a story of imagined enchantment. Step into the ethereal, candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and let yourself be swept away into this stormy play filled with unforgettable characters.

Usher in a new year of theatre with this Shakespeare classic brought to life in a thrillingly new way.
