The Tempest

The TempestT011554783
Prospero, Duke of Milan, his dukedom usurped by his brother Antonio, is put to sea with his daughter Miranda and some magical books smuggled in by his loyal councillor Gonzalo. The sea casts them up on an island where Prospero, exercising his magical powers, makes a home for himself and Miranda. One day a great storm, which Prospero has conjured, breaks up a passing ship and delivers to him the members of his usurping court. Treacherous brother, fellow conspirators and old friend alike come under Prospero's spell. Shakespeare's last play.

Reviews

Overall: 4.50
USER (11Jan01): A gripping performance from Vanessa Redgrave (amongst several others), superb ensemble work, great music and a wonderful inventiveness make this a very fine version of the play, well worth seeing. 5
USER (11Jan01): Excellent production - but Redgrave was abysmal. She didn't grip the importance of her lines or the role in general at all, and looked like a tramp! 4
