Guardian review of the #TheTempest https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/feb/03/the-tempest-review-alex-kingston-prospero-royal-shakespeare-stratford?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Just home from the Tempest at Stratford with a fantastic gender-flipped Prospero (Alex Kingston). Humans' tension with the natural world strongly built into the design, but particularly powerful on colonialism and slavery. The actors playing Ariel and Caliban, when finally freed from Propsero's control, left the stage speaking their own languages - Welsh and Arabic. (Heledd Gwynn and Tommy Sim’aan). Deeply moving.

Quite looking forward to this production of #TheTempest by Roundhouse Theater and the Folger Shakespeare Library (and manic tricks by Teller!). Managed to get good seats too.

[1992] Shakespeare: The Animated Tales - "The Tempest", exiled Prospero lives on a desolate island with his daughter, Miranda. When Prospero's usurping brother sails by the island, Prospero conjures a storm that wrecks the ship and changes all of their lives. With Martin Jarvis and Timothy West.

Oh noooo Cris Pannullo has fallen ! And on a very easy question :( I’m surprised he didn’t take a wild guess at one of the shakespearian « faery » plays, given the year and the clue… #jeopardy #thetempest #obravenewworld #finaljeopardy

Why has #TheTempest captured generations of readers? Prolific author Margaret Atwood says it’s because “you don’t get unmixed characters in Shakespeare. Through some eyes Prospero is a good guy, and to others he’s a tyrant.” #VelshiBannedBookClub http://ow.ly/wJsy50LUpa5

I’m presently hella grateful to @alivelshi for asking Mme. #margaretatwood back on his air for another brilliant convo. Two Canadians made a top team to knock around opinions of #TheTempest, #banningShakespeare(!) and the #HandmaidsTale; then melding more magic into #Hag-Seed — Atwood’s interpretation that prisons Figaro and dives deeply (and offensively to book-banners) into cross-cultural accurate views of colonization.🤘🏻

Here's #MyShakespeareWinter part 1: I'm re-reading all of Shakespeare's 37 plays over the next few months...the first read is #TheTempest, a Top 5 Bard play for me...a dreamy island fantasy with blithe spirits, glorious language, sweet romance & a warm plot of reconciliation and renewal

The Tempest by William Shakespeare and Undine by Friedrich de la Motte FouquéI illustrated by Arthur Rackham (1908 and 1909).

Watched all currently released episodes of #GundamWitchFromMercury and as a casual Gundam fan, I think it's one of the best series the franchise has done so far.

Whoever had the idea to toss #RevolutionaryGirlUtena, #Gundam, and #TheTempest into a blender and make the results into a show, I salute you.

I'm teaching #TheTempest today, so for sure, I'll play Kamau Brathwaite's reading of his magisterial "Caliban":

Was thrilled to see Sacred Heart's production of #TheTempest by #Shakespeare (it was re-written into something of a musical) on Saturday night. Joanna, Kylie, and Brooke were *great*. The music was spot on, but what else should we have expected from Lisa & Shane? It was a tremendously *huge* feeling show. So much fun!
