question: Sir David Mark Rylance Waters's appearances include, among others, "Prospero's Books", a 1991 British avant-garde film adaptation of what by William Shakespeare?
answer: The Tempest
context: Title: Prospero's Books
  Passage: Prospero's Books is a 1991 British avant-garde film adaptation of William Shakespeare's "The Tempest", written and directed by Peter Greenaway.  John Gielgud plays Prospero, the protagonist who provides the off-screen narration and the voices to the other story characters.  Stylistically, "Prospero's Books" is narratively and cinematically innovative in its techniques, combining mime, dance, opera, and animation.  Edited in Japan, the film makes extensive use of digital image manipulation (using Hi-Vision video inserts and the Paintbox system), often overlaying multiple moving and still pictures with animations.  Michael Nyman composed the musical score and Karine Saporta choreographed the dance.  The film is also notable for its extensive use of nudity, reminiscent of Renaissance paintings of mythological characters.  The nude actors and extras represent a cross-section of male and female humanity.
