Phyllida Lloyd is a world-renowned theatre, film and opera director. She returned to the Donmar Warehouse in 2016 with The Tempest, the final instalment of the Shakespeare Trilogy. Her other theatre work includes: The Taming of the Shrew, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and MAMMA MIA!, which was produced worldwide and made into the 2008 film. Her most recent film was The Iron Lady (2012).
A timely, intense and gripping version of the stage play, and the first in a Shakespeare Trilogy alongside Henry IV and The Tempest, brought to you by Donmar Warehouse. Directed by Phyllida Lloyd, this adaptation is set in a women’s prison. Working with key organisations, the company features women who have been through the judicial system - giving the production an added edge and resonance. It features a striking central performance by Dame Harriet Walter as Brutus.
