However, after his directions become a little too crazy (he tries to construct a cape out of stuffed animal skin), he is fired from his job. After that, Felix throws himself into his work, trying to recreate “The Tempest” with a recasted Miranda as the star.
“Hag-Seed” follows Felix, an artistic director at the Makeshiweg Theater Festival, who goes mad after his three-year-old daughter-Miranda-dies of meningitis. While the premise seems promising, “Hag-Seed” fails to deliver, overloading the novel with too many useless details and not enough emotional substance. Despite the temporal and geographical differences between them, the two literarily meet in Margaret Atwood’s “Hag-Seed,” a retelling of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest.” The reworking features prison inmates in its cast and a crazy, rejected theater director as its star. William Shakespeare is an English playwright from the Elizabethan Era, known as England’s national poet. Margaret Atwood is a contemporary author from Canada, known for her novels and her environmental activism.
