Sigourney Weaver is set to make her West End debut as Prospero in new adaptation of William Shakespeare's play The Tempest


Sigourney Weaver will make her West End debut as Prospero in a new production of William Shakespeare's play The Tempest.

They will both be directed by Lloyd, who is currently staging Romeo And Juliet, starring Marvel actor Tom Holland and Francesca Amewudah-Rivers in the title roles, in the capital. 'It's an honour to have been invited by Andrew Lloyd Webber to bring Shakespeare back to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, in a season alongside Sigourney Weaver in The Tempest, and to be working with the great Hayley Atwell for the first time.' 'His bold and electric direction, combined with the warmth and wit of one of Shakespeare's most celebrated comedic duos is a truly exciting opportunity and one that I hope will delight our audiences.'
