Summary
"Widely considered to be the last of his solo plays, The Tempest is Shakespeare's
final masterpiece, a tale of 'forgiveness, generosity and enlightenment' in which
Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, conjures up a storm to lure his perfidious
brother to the enchanted island on which he and his daughter Miranda have spent 12
years in exile"--Container
My notes
Colin Morgan from the BBC series "Adventures of Merlin" is prominently featured as
Ariel. James Garnon as Caliban shows his extraordinary Shakespearean range in
this production. Roger Allam ( Falstaff in the Globe production of the Henry plays) has not appeared at the Globe
since this Tempest, at least not in media to which I had access.
As always with these file shares, it is my wish that the original dvds in PAL
or NTSC be made part of libraries everywhere. This production of the Tempest has
English, French and German subtitles available in the original dvd.
