A Stratfrod Shakespeare Festival theater production. Canada 2009, 132 min. Directed by Des McAnuff. Play by William Shakespeare. Production design by Paul Tazewell. Music by Michael Roth. Principal cast: Christopher Plummer as Prospero, James Blendick as Gonzalo, Bruce Dow as Trinculo, Peter Hutt as Alonso, Dion Johnstone as Caliban. In Tony-winning director Des McAnuff's film The Tempest, Christopher Plummer takes the classical role of a lifetime to the big screen, starring as Prospero in Shakespeare's culminating masterpiece. Marooned on a distant island with his daughter Miranda (Trish Lindstrom), Prospero (Christopher Plummer) has spent twelve years perfecting his magic arts. Now, with the help of the spirit Ariel (Julyana Soelistyo), he raises a storm at sea, bringing within his grasp the enemies who robbed him of his dukedom. But what vengeance does he propose to take? The Tempest pits the desire for revenge against the demands of love and asks if man is capable of creating a brave new world. The story focuses on Prospero (Christopher Plummer), the banished Duke of Milan. Plummer also remains one of the most respected and honored actors performing in the English language. He's won two Emmy Awards and for his stage work, Plummer has racked up two Tony Awards as Best Actor for the title role in "Cyrano" and the second in 1997, as Best Actor in "Barrymore". Plummer has also delivered stunning stage performances for The Stratford Shakespeare Festival's prpoductions of King Lear, Ceasar and Cleopatra and The Tempest. In English.
