The Tempest

by William Shakespeare Narrated by Ian McKellen, Full Cast

Overview

Sir Ian McKellen, fresh from his performance as Gandalf in Lord of the Rings is Prospero, and heads a strong cast in Shakespeare's last great play. The wronged duke raises a tempest to shipwreck his old opponents on his island so that he can ensure justice is done. With Emilia Fox as Miranda, Scott Handy in the pivotal role of the sprite Ariel and Ben Owukwe as Caliban, this new production directed by John Tydeman, balances the magic and the earthiness with music playing a key role.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Densely detailed (yet easy on the eyes), this World's Classics edition of Tempest is far and away the best paperback available."—Robert A. Morace, Daemon College

"A fine edition that combines the clarity I demand of a teaching text with the perspicuity I expect in a research text. In the crowd of serviceable texts thronging the market, Orgel's is a standout."—Joseph Lyle, University of Virginia
