The Tempest

With a spirit of the supernatural, The Tempest is a story of forgiveness, generosity and enlightenments set on a remote and mysterious desert island. With enchantments and treachery at every turn, will anyone ever make it off? Roger Allam brings a fresh perspective to troubled sorcerer Prospero while Colin Morgan is magical as Ariel in this performance of Shakespeare's late great masterpiece, recorded at Shakespeare's Globe in London in 2013 with renaissance costumes and staging.
