7:55Now Playing“The Tempest”, the last of Shakespeare’s plays to be written alone, has captured academic and casual readers alike for generations.

Her version is called “Hag-Seed” and it explores “The Tempest” in a modern context – one that has no more remote islands to plant Prospero and Miranda-type characters.
