- sections that discuss the play's text and early performances, and the theatrical and cultural context in which it was created
- quotations from original documents and a wide variety of responses from later critics which allow the reader direct access to contemporary thought and to developments in critical assessments of the play
- coverage of key theatrical interpretations by figures such as Charles Kean, Beerbohm Tree, John Gielgud, Patrick Stewart and Simon Sussell Beale
- exploration of major film productions including Forbidden Planet, Prospero's Books and Derek Jarman's Tempest.
