Miranda in The Tempest

Minack Theatre, dir Simon Taylor
Above all there is Anna Tolputt as that “love of his life”, who as a spirited Miranda simply sparkles, makes one believe, in the nicest possible way, that she really does love men, “beauteous mankind” and that with such people in it the world has to be brave and new. Far and away the finest Miranda I’ve seen on this stage…The Cornishman
