Drury University Professor of Theater Dr. Mick Sokol discusses his production of Shakespeare s The Tempest.
“Yeah, there s a lot of magic involved. It s a lot of fun. I think it s mostly a comedy it certainly ends happily. It’s got a lot of physical humor. It s a crowd pleaser, there s no two ways about it. You ve got lots of spectacle with the storm and all that stuff. And it s a fun show.”
I found a one-sentence synopsis of The Tempest at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust website, https://www.shakespeare.org.uk/, though of course they go into a lot more detail about the work: “A crew of men are shipwrecked on a magical island and tormented by an old man and his slaves.”
