On a remote island, an exiled Duke prepares to perform his swansong, his great act of revenge. Kenneth Branagh takes the role of Prospero in Shakespeare’s final play, a meditation on art, power and freedom, directed by Richard Eyre.

The Tempest

Royal Shakespeare Theatre

A huge success since its creation in 2011, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland solidifies Christopher Wheeldon’s place among the most interesting contemporary choreographers for his skill and originality in engaging and even entertaining audiences with a modern narrative ballet, described almost as “a classic of our time,” where academic technique blends with contemporary sensibility. An explosion of colours, innovative and sophisticated choreography, imaginative and astonishing costumes and sets – from puppetry to projections – and a score that combines contemporary sound worlds with sweeping melodies that gesture to ballet scores of the 19th century. With Alice, we are drawn into a myriad of adventures and encounters; the extraordinary and recognisable characters from Lewis Carroll’s books provide the opportunity for the artists to shine in a variety of styles, even winking at the great 19th-century ballets: how can one resist the Queen of Hearts in a hilarious send-up of the Rose Adage.
