The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1610–11, and thought to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone.
Critics see The Tempest as explicitly concerned with its own nature as a play, frequently drawing links between Prospero’s “art” and theatrical illusion.
The motivation to adopt The Tempest as the basis for our experiment is due to intrinsic qualities of the play, particularly the magic, which is one of the main themes of its narrative.
