In this compelling new interpretation, leading Shakespearean scholar Graham Bradshaw argues that what Shakespeare is offering us, in his story of Prospero, the exiled duke who manages to bring his enemies within his grasp, is a disturbing play about the nature of power. Drawing on other critical opinions, and on more than 30 years of teaching and writing about Shakespeare, Bradshaw shows why The Tempest is one of his greatest plays. This entertaining, accessible guide is not only a must-read for students of Shakespeare but for any theatregoers who want to enhance the pleasure they get from seeing these astonishing works in performance.
“The perfect introduction to The Tempest.”
Sir Peter Hall, Founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company
