RSC Live: The Tempest
On a distant island a man waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
