The Tempest

Arkangel Shakespeare

De: William Shakespeare

Narrado por: Jennifer Ehle, Adrian Lester, Bob Peck, Simon Russell Beale, Jamie Glover, Richard McCabe

This haunting drama of vengeance and forgiveness crowns the group of tragicomic romances that Shakespeare composed at the end of his career. Sometimes read as his farewell to the stage, the play contains some of Shakespeare's most lyrical verse.

Prospero, wise Duke of Milan, has been deposed by Antonio, his wicked brother, and exiled with his daughter Miranda to a mysterious island. But Prospero possesses supernatural powers. Aided by the spirit Ariel, Prospero uses his magical art to bring his enemies under his control.

Prospero is played by Bob Peck, Ariel by Adrian Lester, Jennifer Ehle is Miranda, Simon Russell Beale is Antonio, Jamie Glover is Ferdinand, and Richard McCabe plays Caliban.

Womderful

The presentation was awesome and the actors did a great job with how they portrayed what Shakspeare wanted

Another excellent play by Arkangel

An excellent play, great actors. Would recommend. Originally used this for a university class, but its so entertaining that its easy to listen to again and again.

Well done audio version of the classic

This audio version was excellent. The voice acting was amazing and audio effects were good but not too much. I need to see the play live. I think I would get more out of this seeing actors perform it. Hopefully a theater in the Twin Cities will perform it sometime in the near future.

Wonderfully entertaining!

We listened to this version for our AmblesideOnline Shakespeare reading of The Tempest. They kids loved the music and drama, and I appreciated the meaning that was brought out by the excellent reading by the cast.

Arkangel kills it again

Fantastic rendition of a gorgeous play. Arkangel’s unabridged renditions are always the best. The music and sound design are especially beautiful and really convey the island’s magic.
