Classic Shakespearean romance. According to Wikipedia: ‘The Tempest is a play written by William Shakespeare. Many scholars believe that it was written in 1610–11, [1] although some researchers have argued for an earlier dating.[2] While listed as a comedy when it was initially published in the First Folio of 1623, many modern editors have since re-labeled the play a romance. It did not attract a significant amount of attention before the closing of the theatres in 1642 and after the Restoration it attained popularity only in adapted versions.[3] Theatre productions began to reinstate the original Shakespearean text in the mid-19th century, [4] and in the 20th century, critics and scholars undertook a significant re-appraisal of the play’s value, to the extent that it is now considered to be one of Shakespeare’s greatest works.’
