I read this play for my LIT 337 Course (Sex, Money, and Idiots in Power). I've read the original Tempest before and this one was very comparatively bizarre. With all the new characters added to account for changing times in the 17th Century AND the new inclusion of women on the English stage. It's very strange. Plus they added a lot of singing (including that DeViL chorus that had me quaking). Overall an interesting read but not a favorite.
