| Synopsis |
"Prospero, Miranda, Ferdinand, Stephano and Trinculo are portrayed as [insane] asylum inmates. Antonio, Alonso, Sebastian and Gonzalo are dressed as doctors, but we're not sure either group can be credited with sanity. In this context, when Prospero claims to be the rightful Duke of Milan, we don't know whether to believe it or dismiss it as a delusion.
"It's an all-male asylum, so Miranda is a boy (Danyel Lee). This fact breathes new life into the stock romance between Miranda and Ferdinand (Gareth Potter). Ironically, this element can be seen as faithful to the Shakespearean vision since in the original production, a boy would have played the female role. It makes you wonder if early audiences would have appreciated the gay subtext, and whether Shakespeare intended just that" (18 Dec. 2003. qtd. from http://www.montrealmirror.com/ARCHIVES/2001/082301/theatre1.html). |
