I have just finished reading the entitled book, "Tempest Tost" a satirical comedy about a quest for putting on a theatre production of the Tempest. I enjoyed this novel very much. Anyone else like it. Any comments on the theme(s) or the literary employed devices.

9/10

I haven’t read this one, but I do quite like Robertson Davies. Have you read “Fifth Business”? This is probably his most famous work – it’s got a great plot although I female characters are pretty one-dimensional and uninteresting. “Fifth Business” is part of a trilogy, and I think that “Tempest Tost” is the first book in another of Davies' trilogies. Good news for you since you liked it - there’s two more still to look forward to!
