Shakespeare Uncovered: director Trevor Nunn looks at the magical and mysterious 
world created in Shakespeare's last complete play, The Tempest. 

Trevor finds out where Shakespeare got his material from and the strange 
personal insights hidden within it. It is a truly experimental work but sadly 
perhaps also Shakespeare's farewell to the theatre. The Tempest is peculiarly 
suitable to film - ambitious, experimental and full of magic. Not surprisingly, 
one of the very first silent film adaptations of a Shakespeare play was The 
Tempest in 1911. 

As Trevor reveals, it was actually written for an experimental theatre - 
Shakespeare's first indoor space, the Blackfriars. There is a replica of the 
theatre in Staunton, Virginia and Trevor sees a rehearsal of the opening scenes 
of the play using the full panoply of early 17th-century special effects. 
Shakespeare was probably prompted to write it by a true story of shipwreck and 
survival which Trevor uncovers, but it is a deeply autobiographical piece, 
filled with concerns about the upcoming marriage of his own daughter and 
informed by Shakespeare's need to address many issues in what would be, in 
effect, the last full play he would ever write. Thus it becomes a play that 
defies genre - not a tragedy, not a comedy, not a history and not a revenge 
play - but with elements of all of those. 

Trevor takes us through the story of the magus Prospero, abandoned on an island 
with his daughter Miranda. He tells about his spirit companion Ariel and his 
slave Caliban, and shows how the opportunity for Prospero to wreak revenge upon 
those who abandoned him ultimately leads to one of the sweetest stories of love 
and forgiveness. It's a story in which Shakespeare himself seems to be 
reflected in the character of Prospero, who ends the play by giving up his 
magic just as Shakespeare is giving up his own to return to Stratford where, 
only two years later, he dies. Trevor completes his investigation from the 
church in which Shakespeare is buried.
