Dramatization
Dramatized audio editions of The Tempest, including radio plays, ensemble cast recordings, and sound-rich studio productions. These versions highlight the atmosphere of the island — magic, storms, spirits — with music and audio effects that enhance the experience.
Novels Based On The Tempest
This group gathers novels that take The Tempest as their foundation — sometimes openly, sometimes in deeper, more thematic ways. Some re-imagine Prospero, Miranda, Caliban, or the island itself. Others borrow the play’s core ideas: control, captivity, enchantment, exile, and the blurred lines between power and compassion.
You’ll find contemporary literary retellings, Caribbean re-situations of the story, psychological reinterpretations, speculative twists, and modern novels that echo the play’s emotional architecture. Works like Prospero’s Daughter and Miranda and Caliban stay closer to the island and its characters, while Hag-Seed transplants the tale into a modern creative-arts setting. Books such as The Magus and The Dream of Perpetual Motion draw more loosely from the themes — transformation, manipulation, illusion — and create entirely new worlds shaped by that influence.
Adaptations
A small but interesting collection of creative reinterpretations of The Tempest. These editions rework the story in unexpected ways, playing with structure, genre, or point of view.
