BWW Review: THE TEMPEST, Jermyn Street Theatre
Oh, how life changes in 20 months. Not quite two years, not quite one and a half. In March 2020, artistic director of Jermyn Street Theatre Tom Littler teamed up with Michael Pennington to deliver Shakespeare’s swansong. That production played for six performances before closing down due to the “unprecedented times” we’re still dealing with. It was this critic’s last show before theatres closed down and everything changed.
BWW Review: THE TEMPEST, Jermyn Street Theatre
William Shakespeare's swansong lands on Jermyn Street Theatre's tiny stage in fetching fashion. Traditionally a grand spectacle, Tom Littler transforms The Tempest into boutique theatre at its finest. Shakespearean veteran Michael Pennington leads as Prospero, and the result is a myth-imbued and aesthetically exquisite show.
