Module 3: Theater 

This module we took a brief look at Shakespeare's Tempest. This five-act play opens with a storm at sea (a tempest), and throughout, Shakespeare has planted allusions to apparitions and magic with characters like Ariel, who is invisible to the other characters at times.

In film, special effects and CGI can create just about any fantasy world. On stage, artists are more limited in the fantasy they can achieve. In both film and theatre, however, audiences must suspend disbelief—that is, whether special effects are sophisticated or rudimentary, we know that what is happening onstage or onscreen is not real, yet we invest our minds and emotions in the experience.

Would you rather see The Tempest on stage or in film? Why? Have you seen a film or stage production during which it was difficult for you to suspend disbelief? What occurred to make this the case?
