Shakespeare's The Tempest (1980 TV) - end of play

[bowerification]

This speech never fails to move me. When you think of all the power and beauty Shakespeare has given the world for hundreds of years and to millions of people - and this appears to be his sign off. Simple and eloquent. His 'That's all folks'. Fantastic.

What a beatiful way to end the play, with a call for prayer and an example of forgiveness. Its said that this was Shakespears "swansong" from the theatre. I can see it when I watch this play. How eloquent!

This is my first introduction to Shakespare (I'm age 52), at my UK Secondary School of the early 1970's I doubt I ever even heard the name Shakespeare!! wonderful stuff.

This epilogue gives me chills every time I hear it. The power it has to transcend the play is unrivaled.
