The Tempest

Twelve years ago, Prospero was Duke of Milan. Being of a bookish disposition, he withdrew more and more into his studies, leaving the management of his state to his brother Antonio. Eventually, with the help of Alonso, King of Naples, and the King's brother Sebastian - inveterate enemies of Prospero - Antonio usurped the dukedom for himself. Prospero and his baby daughter Miranda were put to sea in a rotten boat and eventually landed on a distant island once ruled by the witch Sycorax but now inhabited only by her son, Caliban, and Ariel, a spirit.

What they loved
- It was… fine. Not boring at least.
What they didn't enjoy
- I did do this play at school, but that was 30 years ago. This Jamie Lloyd production seems like an imagined fever dream, and I think I’ll leave Shakespeare up to the RSC in the future. Venue was also far too large for this kind of thing, but at least we were at the front. Admittedly bought the ticket just to see Sigourney Weaver, and I think this is officially the end of me buying expensive theatre tickets just because of a star name.
