8:08 Drury University Professor of Theater Dr. Mick Sokol discusses his production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest." “Yeah, there's a lot of magic involved. It's a lot of fun. I think it's mostly a comedy—it certainly ends happily. It’s got a lot of physical humor. It's a crowd pleaser, there's no two ways about it. You've got lots of spectacle with the storm and all that stuff. And it's a fun show.” I found a one-sentence synopsis of The Tempest at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust website, https://www.shakespeare.org.uk/, though of course they go into a lot more detail about the work: “A crew of men are shipwrecked on a magical island and tormented by an old man and his slaves.”
