The Tempest (The New Cambridge Shakespeare)

quality paperback. practically every line annotated. informative paratext -- fore and aft . . .

I'm preparing to teach THE TEMPEST for the first time, so this was a great way to combine the text with a solo car trip. It's delightful, but I think that for someone unfamiliar with the play it might be hard to follow the characters, through no fault of the cast here. Great stuff for someone who has read and/or seen THE TEMPEST before.

The characters read too quickly and made it extremely difficult to keep up. The quick reading actually took away from my ability to visualize the scenes. The play was good after I listened several times to parts of it.

Do not buy it. The pages were misprinted and now its too late for me to ask for a return.

School book for my daughter. Teacher assigned it and it seems to be fine.
