In a unique partnership with Intel, the production will be using today’s most advanced technology in a bold reimagining of Shakespeare’s magical

play, creating an unforgettable theatrical experience.

Simon Russell Beale returns to the RSC to play Prospero in

this groundbreaking production directed by Artistic Director

Gregory DoranOn 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 no

ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend na-ture to his will. When a sail

appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the

ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him.

Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When

they wake they find them-selves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as

it seems.
