THE TEMPEST (2010)

Tammy and Luke explore and review the 2010 film adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

EPISODE NOTES: As performers, we believe that Shakespeare is at its best performed, not read. As much as we love theatre, and the stage, and as much as we have enjoyed watching filmed stage productions, we were always going to get to watching a traditional cinema film adaptation of Shakespeare, and that’s where we are today. The Tempest is a divisive play at the best of times, and film adaptations of Shakespeare have a real history of hit-or-miss, but to avoid them would be to miss out on where a lot of people have their first exposure to these works.

And so, we’re watching this film, where we have a genderswapped lead character, and special effects that would be impossible on stage; but does it accomplish things that the show wouldn’t have done on stage?
