It feels odd reviewing something by one of the most influential author in the English Language. The Tempest isn't a bad play, but as is my view on all plays, it wasn't presented properly. It's fine to say a whole bunch of things about the writing style and how brilliant it is while reading it, but I am of the firm belief that if something was written to be read out loud or acted out that is the way that it should be done. It is one of my issues with the Foundation Year Program (the other is the fact that we only have to read parts of books which I believe teaches us nothing about the piece or time but only gives us a corner of a snapshot). That being said I did enjoy the whimsy of this play.
I give this play 6 air spirits out of 10. It was good, I just wish I could see it. I think it would grant me a better understanding of the play as apposed to the unenthusiastically reading that went on in my head, but such is life.
