Widely considered to be the last of his solo plays, The Tempest is Shakespeare's final masterpiece, a tale of 'forgiveness, generosity and enlightenment' in which Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, conjures up a storm to lure his perfidious brother to the enchanted island on which he and his daughter Miranda have spent 12 years in exile. Combining sumptuous Jacobean costume with enchanting music and 'spellbinding staging' (The Daily Telegraph), this acclaimed Globe production - starring Olivier Award winner Roger Allam as a 'poignantly humane' Prospero (The Financial Times) - is a touching portrayal of one of the Bard's most lyrical stage works. Filmed in High Definition and true SS. Review: Excellent excellent play. - Colin Morgan is excellent and amazing as Ariel. The other actors where wonderful as well. Just an excellent, amazing and funny play. I would give it 10 stars if the ratings went that high. Heck I am giving it 10 stars. Review: Outstanding production. - Great performances from the cast, but it's the stagework that really puts this production into another level of excellence. The use of music, puppetry, costumes/makeup, and sounds effects help deliver the play's overall sense of wonder and redemption in a powerful way. Big thumbs up.

Up Close and personal!!
Highly recommend! I couldn't figure out how to get the subtitles to work but nonetheless the production is wonderful. During the first half it was raining so it was interesting to see the audience getting wet as they watched a live production at the Globe facsimile. Real devotees! You won't regret watching this version.

L'articolo è arrivato in perfette condizioni e nei tempi previsti per la consegna. Sono molto soddisfatta. La commedia stupenda con grandi attori tra i quali l'emergente Colin Morgan bravissimo attore di teatro e tv. Ottimo per imparare un po' di inglese arcaico

This production is enthralling. Brilliant performances from all the players. It's always a good sign when the actors are clearly enjoying themselves. The production is powerful yet warm and witty and at times poignant. I love The Globe productions - it really fascinates me to see how the stage is used differently for each play. I loved the costumes, too, especially the decorated collars worn by Iris and Ceres in Act IV. The masque dance is really great, quite bonkers. And the music is just right. The music in some of The Globe productions is not to my taste, a bit too modern and discordant. But here it's good. I loved Sarah Sweeny as Iris. I'm still trying to figure out how she produced the small flower and how she made it disappear again.

Zum Stück selbst kann ich mich voll und ganz den vorhandenen positiven Beschreibungen anschließen. Mit der Erfahrung von einem halben Dutzend Aufführungen live im Globe erwartete ich nicht allzu viel von dieser gefilmten Inszenierung. Die Akustik in dem Rundtheater ohne Dach ist sehr mäßig, auch ohne Flieger oder wahlweise Hubschrauber am Himmel. Je nach Sitzplatz fehlt einem ein ganzer Teil der Dialoge, was bei Shakespeares Wiederholungen inhaltlich meist kein großer Verlust ist, vom Witz aber einiges wegnimmt. Auch visuell hat man meist entweder Balken oder andere Zuschauer im Blickfeld. Ob stehend oder sitzend ist eine Vorstellung auch körperlich eine Herausforderung. Live vor Ort wird das natürlich wettgemacht vom intensiven Erleben der Aufführung und der Atmosphäre des Ortes. Die Filmversion kann das natürlich nicht bieten. Dafür liefert sie aber perfekte Akustik ins bequeme Wohnzimmer, was das Verständnis drastisch erhöht. Die Kameraführung lässt einen gut ins Stück eintauchen und durch die Nahaufnahmen die vielen liebevollen Details in Spiel und Kostümierung intensiver auskosten. Eine Entdeckung, diese Reihe.

Une prestation magnifique et dans l’esprit du théâtre élizabetain tel qu’il devait être. Surtout de très bons acteurs et une ambiance très chaude entre le public et les comédiens. La pièce indispensable où Shakespeare dit sa vision du monde poétique et pessimiste. Reste le jeu et les hommes, le pouvoir et l’argent. Mais le texte est brillant et éloquent. Traduction française plutôt réussie malgré la rapidité d’élocution. Très beau.
