Abstrakt
The twenty-first century theatrical assertion of the real creates a refreshing look at the interpretation of Shakespeare's The Tempest as well as postulates the inevitable necessity to re-enact Shakespearean theatre by subverting Elizabethan staging practices and developing its metatheatrical quality. Furthermore, the paper highlights several shared features of staging approaches of both Shakespeare and Forced Entertainment, a leading British experimental theatre troupe, such as the author's creative dramaturgies, imagination, and manipulation of the audience.
