The Tempest archiveProspero, Duke of Milan, his dukedom usurped by his brother Antonio, is put to sea with his daughter Miranda and some magical books smuggled in by his loyal councillor Gonzalo. The sea casts them up on an island where Prospero, exercising his magical powers, makes a home for himself and Miranda. One day a great storm, which Prospero has conjured, breaks up a passing ship and delivers to him the members of his usurping court. Treacherous brother, fellow conspirators and old friend alike come under Prospero's spell. Shakespeare's last play. An old man is comatose and near death. The play The Tempest is his last living second, a time in which his loss is assuaged and his enemies forgiven. AJTC's darkly shaded slant on the drama is directed by Geoff Bullen, Shakespeare expert and specialist in new work for the stage, with an extensive score commissioned from the internationally renowned award-winning composer Tot Taylor. Using an enchanting mesh of mime, masking, movement and the music of voice, the two actors conjure storms and apparitions, lay bare treasons and counterplot, and finally transport you to a 'brave new world' of love and reconciliation, all in the Bard's own words.
