Welcome to Litsy!

It's been some years since I read Shakespeare and I honestly couldn't remember reading this one so I gave it a shot and for a short play, I found it to be slightly boring.
Maybe it's the pacing at the beginning but I found it to be messy and in some areas dull where in others slightly racist and pompous.

Thanks @SerialReader for helping me knock a book of my TBR 💕

I was having trouble concentrating on this so I switched to reading while I listened to this full cast recording version and the combo was fantastic! #Bookspin #BirthdayPixieReadathon @TheAromaofBooks @Lizpixie

Yay! It‘s #bookspin day!!! I‘m really looking forward to both of these! @TheAromaofBooks

One of my #Roll100 books next month is The Sea and The Mirror. I thought I might be more interested in it if I read it alongside The Tempest, but the only Shakespeare I own is this Oxford tome that my college professors insisted on but I‘ve never wanted to pick up since because it‘s like trying to read out of an encyclopedia! Does anyone have an edition they especially like? Right now I‘m considering the Macmillan or maybe a used Yale Shakespeare…

Went to the woods for Shakespeare on the Green's sunset production of The Tempest last night. Fireflies danced around out feet and bats contributed to the chatter. We filled up on kettlecorn. The vibes were healing. ✨️

Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but this is Shakespeare, so let's get married. #Shakespeare #GraphicNovel #GraphicClassics #ClassicLiterature

Live theater is back! However, due to high levels of covid in the area, concessions are closed! What is a micro loving Shakespeare fan to do? The notice says you are allowed to bring a water bottle. They did not specify what you can bring in that water bottle! Saw a good performance of The Tempest at the first show in the Elizabethan at OSF in over two years. #shakespearereadalong
Hope all my Litsy friends get to see some theater this season!

Not gonna lie, I had no clue what was going on during the play until I watched a video explaining the plot. If I had understood better what I was reading, I might have enjoyed it a little more. The storyline wasn‘t bad and Ariel was a great character, but the ending was so lack-luster. However, Shakespeare did portray the effects of power and how it can be used bother positively and negatively pretty well. Overall, not super impressed.

“Hell is empty and the devils are here.”
I haven‘t read this one before, and I was psyched to find this for $3 at B+N! I was a “No Fear Shakespeare” gal in high school but you can‘t beat that price.

Starting a reread of this one to prepare to start teaching it in my English classes next week. I usually teach Macbeth, but if you know anything about education, you know they change our curriculum/skills/textbook about every 5 years. Our new textbook this year has The Tempest as the play for 10th grade, not Macbeth. I'm sad, Macbeth is my favorite Shakespeare play.

I was so absolutely lucky enough to see this play in the Boston Commons as part of a bachelorette party. We had so much fun, and this play was so well done! Absolutely fantastic acting, sound, prop, and stage use. It‘s one of Shakespeare‘s last plays, so it gets a little weird with magical elements, but everything was seamlessly done in this production! We were laughing & singing along, there seriously is something magical about seeing his plays!

Boatswain!

Wohoo! Finally I got around to read this famous work! There's are so many famous sayings voming from The Tempest, and I got happy, whenever I met one 😁

Also, I'm just so happy and content to know what it's all about 💪

The Tempest is a play I actually enjoyed reading at university. Even though we discussed it a lot, I still like it lot. I treid to read it once a year. This ebook was supposed to be commented, unfortunately it was not. 🙈

Watching the latest version of The Tempest - with Helen Mirren as Prospera and Ben Wishaw as Ariel.

Reading The Tempest while the sun is shining and the „sea“ is calm... 😜
#shakespeare #thetempest

I'm not sure why, but I just don't love this play as much as some of Shakespeare's other works. I read it to refresh my memory on the story before reading Margaret Atwood's Hag-Seed.

I'm brushing up on The Tempest before reading Hag-Seed. I haven't read this since high school, and I still don't think it's up there with my favorite works by Shakespeare. What do you think?

Thanks @Eggs for the tag.

I am a bit late for this one.
📚The Tempest - Shakespeare (one of my favourite plays)
📖 Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobie (a German word) - fear of excessivly long words... Even without having this fear, how is one supposed to pronouce that?

... buying the annotated version of the play itself. #nextread #shakespeare

@Emilymdxn Look what I found today! I thought I had lost this ticket ages ago.

I'm going to frame it. 😁

Far and Away the most provocative and unusual adventure film you've ever seen!
Did you know the 1956 Sic-Fi movie Forbidden Planet (staring a very young and attractive Leslie Nielsen) was based off Shakespeare's The Tempest? I had a very cool college English teacher who loved to pair films with texts The Tempest + Forbidden Planet, Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde + Fight Club. Such a fun way to learn

1. None, it never occurred to me
2. Our daughter is named after Ariel in the Tempest as the husband is a huge Shakespeare fan

I don‘t think an encounter with Prospero is what they had in mind when they set out. #getawaygonewrong #bibliomaynia

Decided to join the #jennyis30 bingo card challenge, which runs for all of 2020 — whee! It‘ll be my first bingo card challenge on Litsy.

I‘m marking off “classics” with this post, because I finished reading Shakespeare‘s The Tempest as my first read of the year. I meant to do it with the #shakespearereadalong last year, but better late than never!

(If plays don‘t count, @jenniferw88, feel free to let me know and I‘ll just have to start over. 😆)

My New Year‘s Eve companions, along with the cat hovering invisibly nearby. Not a bad way to end one year (decade) and begin another. 😎

#classicfantasy (I also recommend checking out the graphic novel adaptation if you're interested in graphic novels or adaptations of classic literature)

Came home to some book mail! 😍📚 I'm obsessed with the No Fear Shakespeares. They have the original text with a translation so you actually understand what the heck is going on. I've never read The Tempest or Julius Caesar, so those are next on my list!
