Epilogue from The Tempest, by William Shakespeare
An epilogue from The Tempest by William Shakespeare, read by Simon Williams
Accredited Lecturer Simon Williams reads an excerpt from "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare.
All things must pass, so Artvent 2022 draws to a close with these final words.
As the lights go up on the disco dancefloor after we've enjoyed hearing ABBA, the DJ plays a final slow song; and we join the wistful mood with a tear in our eye.
Shakespeare provides the perfect coda to our celebratory journey and, if you have been following us, we hope you've enjoyed it too.
Seasons's Greetings and a Happy New Year to you all!
