The Tempest is largely regarded as a tragicomedy, often just called a Shakespearean comedy, and is suspected to be one of the last plays Shakespeare wrote alone.
It tells a tale of magic, betrayal, and redemption as exiled Duke and sorcerer, Prospero, enacts a plan to take revenge on his foes and restore his lost title. Tangled romances, entrapped spirits, shipwrecks, and goddesses are woven throughout the plot, ensuring that The Tempest has something for everyone.
Along with The Tempest, starring Sigourney Weaver, some of Shakespeare’s other popular works will be showcased at the Theater Royal Drury Lane.
Much Ado About Nothing, the famous five-act comedy, will also be showing. Loki’s Tom Hiddleston and Agent Carter’s Hayley Atwell will play the quarreling lovers, Benedick and Beatrice.
