The Donmar Shakespeare Trilogy began in 2012 with an all-female production of Julius Caesar led by Dame Harriet Walter. Set in a women’s prison, the production asked the question, "Who owns Shakespeare?" Two further productions followed: Henry IV in 2014 and The Tempest in 2016, all featuring a diverse company of women.
All three episodes were shot live in a specially built temporary theatre in King’s Cross in 2016
Julius Caesar depicts the catastrophic consequences of a political leader's extension of his powers beyond the remit of the constitution. As Brutus wrestles with his moral conscience over the assassination of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony manipulates the crowd to frenzied mob violence through his subtle and incendiary rhetoric. What follows is the descent of the country into factions and the outbreak of civil war.
In Henry IV, Shakespeare’s monumental history play travels to the heart of family, duty and country as it asks "What makes a king? What makes a father?" Shakespeare’s monumental history play travels to the heart of family, duty and country.
Set on an isle "full of noises", this magical production sees Harriet Walter take on the role of Prospero, in Shakespeare’s evocation of the eternal struggle for liberation, morality and justice.
