April's Reading group: Shakespeare's The Tempest

Selecting a single play from so many works of genius was always going to be tricky, and it was a busy vote, but this one should go down a storm

Deciding this month's Reading Group choice by vote wasn't one of my greatest ideas. I didn't take account of how hard it is to choose between Shakespeare's plays. There's a reason people are given the complete works on Desert Island Discs. Selecting a single one is very tough. So it's unsurprising that there was a large number of plays in contention, and that everyone seemed to have a different favourite. Or four or five favourites. It ended up as a face-off between 20 different plays. There was also a tied vote at the top, between Macbeth and The Tempest.
