Synopsis

Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, and his daughter, Miranda, were put out to sea in nothing more than a raft but were miraculously spared, arriving safely on an enchanted island. Using the island's magic, which the sorcerer Prospero has learned to control over many years, he conjures up a storm that envelopes a nearby ship containing his enemies. Each separate group of survivors is manipulated by Prospero. Will his marooned rivals apologize for their mistakes?

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England’s Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare’s working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.

I had to read this play for school, year 12 externals for literature. For my first Shakespearean play, I can't complain. It was pretty good, considering I was forced to read it. It explores themes of revenge/forgiveness, parenting, master-servant relationships, love and power.......more

Goodreads review by Kara on May 03, 2024

The illustrations are lovely, done in classic fairy tale or King Athur style, but the text is too dense and heavy to work for a picture book.......more

Goodreads review by John on February 20, 2025

I made the mistake of reading this the first time without an accompanied viewing of some theatrical production, which probably isn't how you should ever read Shakespeare.......more

Goodreads review by Ella on September 09, 2024

Side note: Transitioning my brain out of old English is weird. Alrighty, so I think I enjoyed this one the most of all the Shakespeare plays I've read. It had the magic and humor of a midsummer night's dream, but the characters were easier to keep track of. It had some minimal plotting like Macbeth,......more
