∙ 12y agoThere are no contemporary reviews of the play so we don't know, and cannot even guess. We know it was performed at court in 1611 and again in 1612, and Davenant said it was also performed at the Blackfriars. There is no record of how it was received.

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.
