        Overview

        Greenaway adapts Shakespeare’s The Tempest, abandoning established narrative structures and employing innovative digital techniques alongside mime and dance to present a work of beauty and precision. John Gielgud gives a performance of astonishing breadth, playing both Prospero and, ultimately, Shakespeare himself. The result is an extraordinary, illusory work that perfectly reflects Greenaway’s unique, uncompromising sensibility.
