“One of the most important theatrical events of the last twenty years”
– The Observer
Director Phyllida Lloyd’s arresting live productions of JULIUS CAESAR, HENRY IV and THE TEMPEST come to 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. The trio of films make their American Premiere in this weekend long film festival at St. Ann’s Warehouse!
Reviews: Shakespeare Trilogy
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

A striking cinematic experience
–THE STAGE

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
–THE SCREEN INTERNATIONAL

There's a quirky earthiness, comic grit, and fiercely choreographed punch in this splendid multi-ethnic cast which has no weak link….brilliantly bracing...
–THE INDEPENDENT
