Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood is a modern retelling of Shakespeare\u2019s The Tempest, part of the Hogarth Shakespeare Project. Set in a performing arts prison program, the story follows Felix Phillips, a fired artistic director who seeks revenge on colleagues who humiliated him years earlier. Under the alias \u201CProspero,\u201D he uses the inmate-actors in a theatrical production of The Tempest to orchestrate his plan\u2014and to find personal healing.\nStructured in nine acts, the novel weaves together themes of revenge, forgiveness, and the transformative power of art. Felix\u2019s journey mirrors Prospero\u2019s arc: from bitterness to redemption. Along the way, he mentors Anne-Marie, a young prison supervisor, and bonds with inmates who bring fresh, raw perspectives to Shakespeare\u2019s characters.
