It may be of peripheral interest but in the Munchner Kammerspiel's 2008 staging of The Tempest (Der Sturm) directed by Stefan Pucher and Peter Schonhofer the stage consists of enormous pages from a book that Pucher turns as if he were leafing through Shakespeare’s play, but one that has been transformed into a colourful pop-up volume . See the International Database of Shakespeare on Film, Television and Radio for full details and availability.

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any film adaptation(s) of Hamlet in which he uses writing tables (after he "meets" the ghost of Old Hamlet)? And does anyone know of any film adaptation(s) of The Tempest (other than Prospero's Books) in which we see Prospero's books (in the boat with Gonzalo and Miranda, the library in Milan, and / or the library on the island) or see Prospero holding a book ?
Thanks much.

Best,
Richard
