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.

Saw this today and it’s such a great performance from everyone. Loved it and looking forward to seeing another performance soon.
oh wow, he managed to move me to tears in only 1 minute, absolutley brilliant performance!
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.
Great insight. Thank you very much. I won't forget your words Md Shamim.
Hands down my favorite place in London 💚
Ahh I love this, Tempest was so good 👏🏼
It's a great production, at home in The Globe
We are such stuff, dreams are made off 😍🍾🥂
@johnashtone7167 bad translation on my part I only knew the quote in swedish and couldnt find it atm
i commend the actors this summer is hot temperature wise.
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.
I know not why he is so sad.
It is Shakespeare himself saying goodbye
@@Muguetsu That's the ending speech. Anyway, I'm referring to this guy's performance.
@@seansmith3058 Well, think of Shakespeare sick, losing interest in his craft and acknowledging the destructive power of time. I think his performance fit those feelings very well
@@Muguetsu You are referring to the wrong speech.
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.
