There is a film called Prospero’s Books. An adaptation of the The Tempest. It has an amazing rendition of the masque within it.

That statue’s artist (Eric Gill) had darker reason for creating such a work for the BBC. As you said 11 minutes in: “the use of broadcasting even as an art to influence culture being exemplified in this statue”

[@curiositytax9360]

Doesn’t that being dark depend on your point of view of the BBC?

The Oxfordians trace this play and other Italian origins of Shakespeare plays to Edward DeVere. I personally think they are correct. I merely mention it. A fascinating theory with merit.

I find that intriguing. Not sure

@@LitProfYes it is Sir. If true, Shakespeare scholars have been making up facts for decades. At this point, that wouldn’t surprise me in the least. But the text is still there and great, and that’s what matters. Mostly.
