There 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.

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.


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.


Which play begins with a storm at sea?

The Tempest, by William Shakespeare. One of his last plays, demonstrating a feeling or renewal and hope as he retired.
