Smoking Mirror Theatre Company presents The Tempest. Director John Gordon will stage Shakespeare's magical tale of power, forgiveness and redemption with Prospero, the magician, and Alonso, King of Naples, re-imagined as female characters.
The production's non-traditional casting aims to challenge and expand our understanding of the play's characters and themes and to reflect the reality that we live in an increasingly female-oriented world. There have been female Properos before but audiences have probably never before seen a Queen of Naples as an enemy to her. And in this production Miranda is a powerful young woman in her own right and not a shrinking violet.
