Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Firstly I'd just like to point out that on the box it says: "Staged as seen in the 16th century". In fact 'The Tempest' wasn't even written until around 1610/11, the 17th century, and thus it's highly unlikely that it was seen in the 16th.
This is a brilliant play, which has been adapted more successfully to film in the following versions:
- The Tempest, director: Derek Jarman, 1979
- Prospero's Books, director: Peter Greenaway, 1991
I wouldn't reccommend viewing Greenaway's version unless you have know the play quite well as it's a very artistic interpretation, and doesn't lend itself to storytelling, it's more preoccupied with the specifics of Prospero's 'art' (i.e. magic).
