Following its early closure due to the pandemic in March 2020, the Jermyn Street Theatre is delighted to welcome back Tom Littler’s production of The Tempest to its stage, running from 25 November-22 December.

Michael Pennington returns to don his robes once more, playing Prospero in this critically hailed production of Shakespeare’s final play.   He will be reunited with Peter Bramhill (Holby City) as Sebastian and Trinculo, Richard Derrington (The Archers) as Antonio and Stephano, Lynn Farleigh (Wycliffe) as Gonzalo, Jim Findley (Our Town) as Alonso, Whitney Kehinde (Twelfth Night) as Ariel, and Tam Williams (Spectre) as Ferdinand and Caliban.  Rachel Pickup, who has previously appeared at Jermyn Street Theatre in The Odyssey and For Services Rendered, takes over the role of Miranda from Kirsty Bushell.

The creative team includes designers Neil Irish and Anett Black, composer and sound designer Max Pappenheim, lighting designer Will Reynolds, and movement director Julia Cave.

Tom Littler said: "It's very moving to reunite with the cast of The Tempest after this long wait, and I'm delighted that Rachel Pickup could join to take over the role of Miranda. This play is about isolation and the joy of encountering long lost people - it has gained new and unexpected resonances."
