Description: <strong>"Our revels now are ended... this rough magic I here abjure..."</strong>

In Shakespeare hinting at the end of his own magnificent career in these and others lines spoken by the great magician, Prospero? <em>The Tempest</em> was the last of Shakespeare's comedies, completed just before he retired to his native Stratford-upon-Avon; perhaps this delightful comedy was intended to signal the playwright's farewell to his beloved theater. <em>The Tempest</em> reflects Shakespeare's mature genius, with its story of innocence tempered by intrigue, hilarity bounded by melancholy. Audiences the world over still thrill to <em>The Tempest's</em> dark comedy and magical fantasy.

Sir Michael Redgrave and Vanessa Redgrave helped to build one of England's foremost theatrical families-- a tradition that Ms. Redgrave continues today. And Hugh Griffith is one of the nation's greatest character actors. Together, they bring <em>The Tempest</em> majestically to life.
