Description

The Tempest by William Shakespeare is a play filled with marvels, music and strangeness. A storm rages as Prospero and his daughter watch from their desert island as a ship carrying the royal family is wrecked. Miraculously, all on board survive.

Plotting, mistaken identities, bewitching love and enchantment follow as the travellers explore this mysterious place of spirits and monsters, and discover that all is not as it seems. Shakespeare's late play fully exploits the power of language and the magic of theatre.

Edited with an introduction by Martin Butler, this edition of The Tempest offers a unique perspective on one of Shakespeare's greatest works.
