Must see: The Tempest
Theatre Royal Drury Lane
It’s one of the theatrical coups of the year: Sigourney Weaver, yes Ripley from Alien, is taking on one of the great Shakespearean roles on the London stage. She will star as Prospero in The Tempest, directed by possibly the world’s hottest theatre director Jamie Lloyd, fresh from turning Nicole Scherzinger into a Broadway star in Sunset Boulevard. Previews start on Saturday, so get booking now. From December 7 to February 1
