The Tempest is one of the most suggestive; yet most elusive of all Shakespeares plays; and has provoked a wide range of critical interpretations. It is a magical romance; yet deeply and problematically embedded in seventeenth-century debates about authority and power. In this updated edition; David Lindley has thoroughly revised the introduction and reading list to take account of the latest directions in criticism and performance. Including a new section on casting in recent productions; Lindleys introduction explores the complex questions this raises about colonisation; racial and gender stereotypes; and the nature of the theatrical experience. Careful attention is also given to the plays dramatic form; stagecraft; and use of music and spectacle; to demonstrate its uniquely experimental nature.
