This
production was my least favourite of all I’ve seen at Shakespeare Globe, and
for the first time in my history of theatre visits, I left during the
intermission. Up on to that that point I can say the Indian Tempest is
energetic, the acting over the top but difficult to follow. Not due to its
array of languages, as most of the dialog was in English, but rather it's pieced
together chaotically. Still it’s safe to say it was the most buoyant interpretation
of the I’ve seen. Little touches like the water soaked sponge clouds,
which sprayed the audience as it dangled did make me smile – and was probably a
nice refresher on an immensely sunny afternoon at the Globe.
