What was Shakespeare's play about a shipwreck and storm at sea?

The play "Julius Caesar" has a storm in it.King Lear, The Tempest, Twelfth NightAdded by kas_447: Macbeth and Othello also have storms in them, but to a much milder degree. One storm in Macbeth is used to demonstrate the Wyrd Sisters' limited powers (they can't kill someone, but they can make their ship rock in a storm: Act 1 Scene 3 Lines 4-14) in a short snippet early on in the play. Also, when Duncan is murdered, all of Scotland is struck with bad weather. The storm in Othello is also never seen by the reader, but I believe Desdemona hears of Othello being on a ship at sea in a storm and fears for his life. I don't know the Act etc.

How will i use lighting in shakespeare?

If you are directing a contemporary production of Shakespeare, lighting can be used in many ways. Because of the frequent scene changes, lights are often used to help set the stage. If you are playing a Midsummer Night's Dream or As You Like It, the scenes in the forest can be assisted with leaf-pattern gobos. In one production of Measure for Measure I saw, the prison was suggested by barred window gobos. Lighting can also be used actively to suggest the storms in King Lear and the Tempest or the ghosts in Hamlet or Richard III, or the battles in various plays. Fantasy sequences, like the masque in The Tempest, give the opportunity for creative use of lighting, including gobos, moving spots, unusual colours and so on. Lights are also used generally in modern productions to signal the end of an act by fading to black. If it's an intermission you fade to black and bring up the house lights.


How does Shakespeare create an exciting and effective exposition in The Tempest?

How does Shakespeare create an exciting and effectiveExposition in "The Tempest"?In ''The Tempest'', Shakespeare creates an exciting and effective exposition using techniques like Special effects, language as well as Forces of nature.He uses them in different ways such as;Special effects: In the opening paragraph, Shakespeare uses special effects such as shaking a sheet of metal to give the audience the effect of thunder, at the same time; water is thrown at the audience to let them feel the storm themselves. He also uses the Winch tower to hoist people up and pig's blood is used as fake blood.Language: In the opening scene of 'The Tempest', The Master and Boatswain call to each other frantically from both sides of the auditorium to create shock and tension in order to catch the disorderly audience's attention. In situations that cause much tension, like this one, the actors {Master and Boatswain} would probably be shouting.The forces of nature: In the opening scene Shakespeare grips the attention of the audience by turning the auditorium into the actual ship. The Master and Boatswain call to each other from other sides of the auditorium to create tension and to give the audience the 'taste' of the storm, which they are trying to save the ship from.Conclusion:In the exposition to 'The Tempest' Shakespeare uses Special effects, Language and Forces of nature to create a thrilling and engaging atmosphere. I thing the most effective technique was when a sheet of metal was shaken on the stage to create a thunder effect because, it creates tension and rowdiness in the audience.
