Act I, scene IIMIRANDA
If by your art, my dearest father, you have
Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them.
The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch,
But that the sea, mounting to the welkin's cheek,
Dashes the fire out. O, I have suffered
With those that I saw suffer: a brave vesse ... (continue)Federica Coluzzi said on Jun 14, 2010 about the Paperback edition | Add your feedback

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 tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all whic ... (continue)Claudia said on Aug 25, 2009 | Add your feedback

In time this has become my favourite play of his, to the extent that I'd read it for the 4th/5th time rather than pick up a fresh one.
Quite short, very dense.
Critical readings usually underline the colonial aspects of the play, which only makes sense if you're teaching EFL to a roomful of teens. Obviously more interesting is the discourse on creation, art-making, ποιήσις.

This is also his only play (along with MND, ça va sans dire) to feature magic&fairies, which is reason enough as far as I'm concerned.
