An excellent stage production of the classic play by William Shakespeare

The first thing you will notice is that you can hear every word and very clearly. If you pull out the book you will notice that this may be an adaptation but it closely follows the written play. Pay attention to the epilog. You will be spell stopped.

In case you missed this story: Prospero, once the Duke of Milan and sorcerer now reigns over a faraway island, living there with his daughter, Miranda. After 12 years of being abandoned, he has an opportunity for revenge. However, the ships may bring more than he planned on.

Shakespeare, Stratford, Christopher Plummer will stand as a favorite.

I have various versions of the play and the obscure Prospero's Books (1991), even Planète interdite (1956) of which some people think it is based on the play.
