“The visuals are true to the hype of a breathtaking order, but Simon Russell Beale is the most special effect…in eloquent, emotionally piercing style.” Daily Telegraph
Simon Russell Beale returns to the RSC after 20 years to play Prospero in this groundbreaking production which uses motion-capture technology to fully realize the magic in Shakespeare’s play, creating an unforgettable theatrical experience.
On a distant island a man waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation—but this is no ordinary man, and this is no ordinary island. Prospero (Beale) is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he creates a vast, magical storm that wrecks the ship carrying the men who wronged him. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems. 180m
