The Tempest by William Shakespeare

Director: Jeremy Herrin

Cast: Roger Allam, Jessie Buckley, James Garnon, Colin Morgan, Jason Baughan, Peter Hamilton Dyer, Sam Cox

Roger Allam stars as Prospero in Jeremy Herrin's handsome and hilarious production of Shakespeare's late masterpiece. Prospero (Roger Allam), Duke of Milan, is usurped and exiled by his scheming brother Antonio (Jason Baughan). He's now stranded on a remote island with his daughter Miranda (Jessie Buckley) and has become a great sorcerer. Serving him are deformed feral slave Caliban (James Garnon) and reluctant spirit Ariel (Colin Morgan). To exact his revenge, Prospero lures Antonio and the complicit Alonso (Peter Hamilton Dyer) to the island by conjuring up a great storm. Director Jeremy Herrin follows his acclaimed 2011 production of 'Much Ado About Nothing' at the Globe with this funny and spellbinding staging of the Bard's great meditation on forgiveness. Stage and screen star Roger Allam, whose credits include 'The Thick of It', returns to the Globe after his Olivier Award-winning triumph as Falstaff. The outstanding cast also includes Colin Morgan, of BBC 'Merlin' fame.
