This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited with an introduction by Martin Butler. 'How many goodly creatures are there here!How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world That has such people in't!' A storm rages. Prospero his daughter Miranda and his monstrous servant Caliban watch from their desert island as a ship carrying the royal family is wrecked. Miraculously all on board survive. Plotting mistaken identities bewitching love and drunkenness follow as the travellers explore the strange place of spirits and monsters on which they have landed. They soon begin to realize all is not as it seems in a play whose magical setting and classical unity of time and place have inspired films as varied as Forbidden Planet Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books and Julie Taymor's The Tempest starring Helen Mirren as 'Prospera'
