Wonderful stage adaptation
I had the good fortune to see this very production at Stratford, Ontario, and this video does a wonderful job capturing the feel of the live performance. It was magical on the night: Plummer is outstanding in a difficult role, Caliban pitched just right, the masque of Ceres breathtaking, and the lords a strong supporting cast. I've seen several stage adaptations of this play, and this exceeds them all. I'm delighted to be able to own it on DVD.
Most of these reviews are not for this film!
Just hoping you've noticed that lots of these reviews are for another dvd altogether - Julie Taymor's film starring Helen Mirren. Amazon really needs a policy for differentiating between different releases of the same movie, and different movies with the same title, as this problem arises all the time.
Absolutely Masterful
Masterful. An absolute delight. Christopher Plummer is a wonder to watch.
...incomparable...
Christopher Plummer is a master of the English language. He leads the audience through this narrative as artfully as Prospero.
