Publisher's Summary
Sir Ian McKellen, fresh from his performance as Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, is Prospero, and heads a strong cast in Shakespeare’s last great play. The wronged duke raises a tempest to shipwreck his old opponents on his island so that he can ensure justice is done. With Emilia Fox as Miranda, Scott Handy in the pivotal role of the sprite Ariel, and Ben Owukwe as Caliban, this new production, directed by John Tydeman, balances the magic and the earthiness, with music playing a key role.

"Great Story, audio needs a little tweaking"
Would you listen to The Tempest again? Why?Absolutely! It's a fairly entertaining story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Tempest?"I did not give the lie!"
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?No narrator. This is recorded as a stage play. You get a different actor for every part.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?No extreme reaction. Of course I was already familiar with the story.
Any additional comments?Be prepared to rewind every now and then to catch what was said when the actors whisper. Having a hard copy of the play would probably help. Of course, then you could just read it.

"Delightful Performance"
A wonderful performance of "The Tempest". I particularly enjoyed Ian McKellen and Emilia Fox as Prospero and Miranda.
I believe this is a recording of an actual performance and that is the cause of my one complaint. There are very few or no clues to distinguish between Sebastian and Antonio. To my ear, their voices are close enough that it's a bit difficult sometimes to separate the two. (In the actual performance this wouldn't have been an issue.) Since I'm familiar with the play, it didn't bother me too much, but it did throw me a bit at first.
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in "The Tempest".0 of 0 people found this review helpful
