We all went to see The Tempest in Stratford on Avon earlier this week. Here are some shots (taken on the sly, I'm afraid) from the upper gallery. As you can see, they set it in Africa. At the very least, it gave us much to discuss about the racial politics of the play and production both. This first shot is of Prospero, Ariel and the ghost of Sycorax, from Act I, scene i.
Here are Ariel, Alonso, Sebastien, Antonio and Gonzalo from Act III, scene iii.
And the pageant Ariel and Prospero whip up for Ferdinand and Miranda in Act IV.
