Described by The Observer as ‘One of the most important theatrical events of the last twenty years’, St. Ann’s Warehouse presents the Donmar Warehouse all-female Shakespeare Trilogy on Screen, directed by Phyllida Lloyd.
Filmed at Donmar King’s Cross, Lloyd turns her tense, arresting live productions of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Henry IV and The Tempest into gripping spectacles for the big screen. Against the backdrop of a women’s prison, Harriet Walter, “one of the best Shakespeareans alive” (The Guardian), leads a fierce all-female cast, empowered to play the parts originally writ for men.

This all-female stage version of Shakespeare crackles with energy... Lloyd's camerawork is creative, using iPhone footage and GoPros alongside more traditional cinematography to create a sense of immediacy

This is dynamic theatre, much more close-up and urgent than event cinema... It's exhilarating to be shown a Shakespeare which is tangibly alive on screen
