The production will run at the theatre from the 22nd July until the 22nd October.
Rehearsal images have been released for the Shakespeare’s Globe’s upcoming production of The Tempest, directed by Sean Holmes.
For powerful Prospero’s opening act of revenge, he raises a ferocious storm to shipwreck a crew of men – including his usurping brother – onto the remote island he now rules.
His unwitting cast is now in position and, with reluctant support from the island’s colonised inhabitants, Prospero’s designs of magical and emotional manipulation unfurl with life-changing force.
The cast for the production includes: Peter Bourke will play Gonzalo, Rachel Hannah Clarke will play Ariel, Ralph Davis will play Trinculo, George Fouracres will play Stefano, Joanne Howarth will play Francisco, Olivier Huband will play Ferdinand, Nadi Kemp-Sayfi will play Miranda, Ciarán O’Brien will play Caliban, Patrick Osborne will play Antonio, Lucy Phelps will play Sebastian, Ferdy Roberts will play Prospero and Katy Stephens will play Alonso.
Brought to life by the Globe Ensemble, the creative team behind the production includes: designs by Paul Wills, co-direction by Diane Page, with Naeem Hayat as assistant director, Cassie Kinoshi as composer and Rachael Nanyonjo as movement director.
The Tempest will play at the Shakespeare’s Globe from the 22nd July until the 22nd October.
