  • Ferdy Roberts performs Prospero's speech from Act IV, scene 1 of The Tempest.
    Shakespeare’s most elemental comedy is brought to life by our 2022 Globe Ensemble with direction from Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes. The Tempest plays in the Globe Theatre until 22 October as part of our Summer 2022 season: bit.ly/GlobeTempest2022

    Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
    As I foretold you, were all spirits and
    Are melted into air, into thin air:
    And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
    The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
    The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
    Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
    And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
    Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
    As dreams are made on, and our little life
    Is rounded with a sleep.
    - The Tempest, Act IV, scene 1

    Movingly rendered, concentrating on Prospero's emotion, rather than the stunning poetry. Possibly the greatest valedictory speech ever written - very good at funerals!

    That's a really lovely reading of the speech. 'we are such stuff..' he captures the extension of this thought perfectly. As in - we're like that. So often the mood dominates this speech, an actor trying to be wise and it coes off sounding like bad Gandulph. But he brings emotional truth to the revelation and makes his logic perfectly clear. That's good acting.

    Only last year, I have completed The Tempest in highschool.
    Prospero is the greatest magician of all because he had the heart to forgive his wrongdoers.

    The sadness in this performance doesn't really ring right for me. I think this is a very poignant speech, and it makes sense to be emotional, but to me it's a speech getting at the the strangeness and mysteriousness of the world, not its sadness.

    When are we going to get away from emotions replacing the text, disrespect for the iambic pentameter, and irrelevant modern costume that turns the whole affair shabby? Sorry, this is a disaster. Time to drop our misplaced reverence for these establishment actors and start demanding authentic, historically informed performances.
