Journey into the magical world of Shakespeare’s The Tempest and uncover the enduring relevance of this play with Sport for Jove.

Famous for its language, context, enchanting characters and breathtaking theatricality, the play is a reflection of the world’s most famous playwright at the height of his powers and at the end of his remarkable career.

This tempest is not only in Prospero – the storm lies in the contradictions and ambiguities the story throws up about freedom and slavery, civilisation and barbarism, legacy and letting go, lust and chastity, youth and age, revenge and forgiveness. The sea is a place of transformation but also represents the capriciousness of nature, chaos, or fate.

This interactive symposium invites students to explore and the play’s enchanting characters, poetic language, and transformative themes, with a direct contrast and comparison to Margaret Atwood’s Hag-Seed.
