Your own personal experience with the play:

Read it in LTU World Masterpieces class. Dr. Melinda Weinstein wants to help with it.

What you liked and disliked about the play:

I liked the mysterious island setting and the magic element, as well as the themes of forgiveness, character change, and essence of what is a play. Shakespeare is a bit difficult to understand and perform, but it may be worth it.

Your own personal experience with the play:

I never saw the play but I loved the novel.

What you liked and disliked about the play:

I disliked the fact that when I looked up information on the play, it says that there were only three actors playing all the roles when it was first performed, but this can be changed, since there are a lot of characters.

Your own personal experience with the play:

None; I found it on a site dedicated to college theater and college-level plays.

What you liked and disliked about the play:

It's literary inspired, and it's described as a "stripped down" version of Peter Pan, which focuses on the emotional aspect of the play. Only downside is that it's a small main cast, with a lot of minor characters.
