A major revival of William Shakespeare's The Tempest in London starring Ralph Fiennes and directed by Trevor Nunn.

Marooned and left to die on a remote island, Prospero can command spirits, create apparitions and manipulate the elements. By using his magic, he assembles his enemies to take revenge on them, and in the process awakens in Miranda, his teenage daughter, her first experience of love. The theme of reconciliation gives immense emotional force to Shakespeare's farewell to the stage. Almost certainly Shakespeare's last play, The Tempest can lay claim to being the first ever work of magic realism.

This cast for this major production of The Tempest in London features Ralph Fiennes as 'Prospero' along with Nicholas Lyndhurst as 'Trinculo'.

Ralph Fiennes was last seen in London's West End in Yasmina Reza's play God of Carnage at the Gielgud Theatre in 2008.

The Tempest in London at the Haymarket Theatre previews from 27 August 2011, opens on 6 September 2011 and closes on 29 October 2011.
