Try small, good-humoured stop signals insteadRead more Leading questionsMy best friend of almost 40 years has always had a slightly skewed impression of who I am.

She is certainly in alien territory here, and plays Prospero with the steely-voiced conviction of a commander giving urgent instruction to an interstellar space crew at imminent risk of attack. She is making her West End debut in this late Shakespearean drama as its gender-reversed central sorcerer and usurped Duchess of Milan, and the remote isle of sounds and sweet airs which she sequesters appears to be floating in deep space.The dark hills and rubble on Soutra Gilmours set look lunar, the booms and bursts in the black background sound like explosions of interplanetary matter (the sound design and compositions are by Ben and Max Ringham) and the lights (designed by Jon Clark) look like the blazing beams of UFOs.
