In your posting, discuss the similarities and differences between these two approaches to the play.

Module 9 Discussion Posting: The Tempest – Group 9

First, read the essay on Shakespeare’s theatre https://shakespeare.folger.edu/shakespeares-theater/shakespeares-theater-essay/ from the Folger Shakespeare Library. Watch the full 2016 Royal Shakespeare Company production of The Tempest https://www.digitaltheatreplus.com/education/collections/rsc/the-tempest. Then watch Acts 1 and 5 from the 2016 Donmar Warehouse production https://www.digitaltheatreplus.com/education/collections/donmar-warehouse/the-tempest.

In your posting, discuss the similarities and differences between these two approaches to the play. Make sure that your posting includes specific references to the theatrical evidence: sets, costumes, lights, style of acting, etc. Of course, you can’t cover everything, so choose what you will focus on and maintain that focus. Think about the changing contexts: the context of the play’s creation, as well as the contexts of the two contemporary productions.

Your posting should be between 250 and 350 words, and make sure you proofread for spelling, syntax, and other writing issues.
