2026 began with Tim’s production of The Tempest at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, at Shakespeare’s Globe.
The Times called it ‘relentlessly arch’. It sold to full houses and broke box office records.
The Tempest is ★★★★ ‘reinvented as a breath of fresh air’ (The Telegraph) by award-winning theatre maker Tim Crouch in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
In this ★★★★ ‘compelling reimagining’ (The Stage), four lost souls are stranded on an island with no hope of escape. As the years pass, they tell themselves a story. A story that is told over and over. A story that conjures other characters out of air, out of thin air.
Tim Crouch (I, Malvolio, Globe, An Oak Tree, Young Vic) directs this ★★★★ ‘refreshingly quirky take’ (Daily Mail) on Shakespeare’s tale, which is a ‘testament to the power of storytelling’ (WhatsOnStage).
