Experience our electrifying 90-minute production of Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank: The Tempest in the Globe Theatre. Created especially for young people, it’s the perfect introduction to Shakespeare for everyone.

On a remote island, Prospero commands spirit Ariel to wreck a passing ship. Washed ashore, the ship’s passengers – and the island’s inhabitants – are soon caught up in a magical plot of love, revenge and forgiveness. Can everyone find the freedom they are searching for?

Following Summer 2022’s ‘undeniably joyous’ (The Stage) Julius Caesar, award-winning Director Diane Page returns to the Globe.

Dedicated schools’ performances of Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank: The Tempest take place between 2–30 March 2023. Visit our Teachers’ Page to find out more information.
