Hag Seed by Margaret Atwood

The Tempest Retold

In this modern retelling of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," a disgraced theater director, Felix, seeks redemption and revenge after being ousted from his position. He finds an unlikely stage in a prison, where he teaches inmates to perform the play that mirrors his own life. As Felix orchestrates a production of "The Tempest," he cunningly uses the opportunity to confront those who wronged him, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. This tale of betrayal, forgiveness, and the transformative power of art explores themes of loss, redemption, and the enduring human spirit.
