The production could prosper without Prospero, yet Jamie Lloyd's staging lacks clarity, as it mixes bombast with confusion amid an abundance of fog.
Selina Cadell's portrayal of Gonzalo shines, her authority making the speech about a just and equal commonwealth the play's center, salvaging the dramatic essence.

Mara Huf's Miranda comes off as gruff rather than ethereal, indicative of the production's loss of Shakespeare's dream-like quality and thematic essence.
