The Tempest

This adaptation of The Tempest is one in the Shakespeare: The Animated Tales series of twelve half-hour shows originally broadcast on the BBC in the early 1990s.. The series won awards and has been used in school settings as beginner introductions to Shakespeare's plays. They are much abridged but still delightful shows, including the language we all know and love.



Join me for a cup of something?



I'll be taking mine over to the T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth.

    Your mug is so unusual, I like it. I never liked Shakespeare at school, very hard to understand

    This is a great idea for introducing Shakespeare to kids. I'm all for that -- and the Tempest is a good one.

    I am truly ignorant of Shakespeare. I love your mug, though. Reminds me of milk glass, only a beautiful blue. Thanks for sharing the film and your cup of pour-over with us for T this week, dear.
