About The Tempest at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London

An enchanting tale of revenge and forgiveness, The Tempest is widely considered to be Shakespeare's last solo play, offering a classic combination of romance, drama and fantasy. 

When a storm erupts, a boat is thrown off course, leaving the crew bloodied and beaten. 

Seeking refuge on a remote island, the shipwrecked crew discover the island isn't as deserted as they first thought. 

Prospero, the banished Duke of Milan, has been living on the secluded land for 12 years. The person who put him there, his brother Antonio, has just joined him... and Prospero is seeking revenge.

Using magic to implement his vengeance, Prospero is willing to go to any length to right past wrongs. 

Blending themes of power, betrayal, love and forgiveness, The Tempest is anything but smooth sailing...
