Written by Polly Barbour In this post-colonial re-working of Shakespeare's original play ', we find exiled, and living on a secluded island in the Caribbean. In order to force his daughter's ship ashore, he creates an enormous and malevolent storm.The main focus of the play is the constant efforts on the part of - a Mulatto slave - and - a black slave - to gain their freedom from Prospero and to escape his tyrannical rule over the island and its people. Ariel is a dutiful slave, and follows all orders that are given to him diligently. He believes with all his heart that Prospero will one day honor the promise he made to him and give him emancipation and freedom.

Caliban, though, does not wear such rose-colored eye-glasses. He snubs and slights Prospero at every contact with him, greeting him by saying 'Uhuru' which is the Swahili word for 'freedom'. Prospero hates it when Caliban speaks his native language, because he has forbidden its use on the island, and also for the more practical reason that he does not speak or understand it. Caliban also threatens to claim birthrights to the island, which makes Prospero even angrier.

He threatens Caliban with a whipping. Caliban tells Prospero that he does not want to be called Caliban anymore; rather, he will go by the name 'X', like a man who has no name, or more accurately, like a man whose name has been stolen from him. The character Eshu is portrayed as a black devil-god. Eshu is the traditional trickster, who is crooked and concerned with confusing the other characters. Eshu calls upon he mythological traditions of West Africa to help him to thwart Prospero's power and authority. When Prospero sends his lieutenants to claim by any means necessary somewhere in Naples for his daughter, Miranda, and son-in-law, Ferdinand, the fleet begs him to leave the island too. He claims that the island cannot survive without him.

The Tempest Play

Eventually only Prospero and Caliban remain behind, Prospero clinging on to the vestiges of his power on the island with his fingertips. He has been true to his word and granted Arial his freedom, but still retains hold on Caliban. In the background, Caliban sings his freedom song, leaving the audience pondering the effects of colonialism and what it really means for the native people of the islands that have been colonized.

Second in my viewing of BBC Shakespeare adaptations: as with the previous 'Measure for Measure', I'd not previously seen any version of the play, and was only vaguely acquainted with the plot. Although the vengeful wizard, Prospero and to a lesser extent his sprite aide/conscience, Ariel, are the key characters, the title is an apt one in that it is the eponymous tempest, or storm - brought about by Prospero - which drives so much of the plot in that it causes to bring to Prospero's island those who had most wronged him. Not surprisingly, given that it is one of Shakespeare's later plays, I found it to be one of his most satisfying and intricately plotted, and although officially classed as a comedy, I'd probably also consider it a moral tale, in the choices and decisions it ultimately has Prospero make when he finally has his hated opponents at his mercy.
