Hag-Seed

Margaret Atwood Vintage €12.50 Atwood’s rich and inventive updating of The Tempest reimagines Prospero as an embittered visionary theatre director seeking revenge on the former deputy who ousted him from his job at a drama festival. The play-within-a-play trope is audaciously Shakespearean and so is Atwood’s free-ranging imagination and witty way with language.
