In 2012, Phyllida Lloyd’s all-female production of Julius Caesar placed the play in a women’s prison. It stunned audiences on both sides of the Atlantic and challenged the idea of ‘who owns Shakespeare?’ In 2014, Phyllida reunited with actor Harriet Walter for Henry IV, the second instalment in what was then announced as a trilogy of works from these major artists.
This autumn culmination of this project is The Tempest, which forms the final part of Shakespeare Trilogy, breaking free from the Donmar Warehouse to perform in a new 420-seat in-the-round temporary theatre at King’s Cross, immediately adjacent to King’s Cross station and directly accessible from King’s Boulevard.
On these special Shakespeare Trilogy days, all three productions directed by Phyllida Lloyd’s with an all-female cast, will be performed back-to-back. Trilogy Day tickets give access to all three performances on that day. The Trilogy performance dates are Sat 19 Nov, Tue 22 Nov, Sat 26 Nov, Sat 3 Dec, Sat 10 Dec and Sat 17 Dec 2016.  
Individual performances not sold seperately on Trilogy Days.
