Apparently, there’s someone else on the island. Miranda is a young girl who scarcely remembers living anywhere else but on a deserted island with her father – a strange man who claims to be Christian, and yet keeps household demons, enslaves spirits and sacrifices the occasional goat. Don’t you feel that way? But I would still love to see this at a theatre. It’s just not a structure that’s fun to read. I hate to say it, but as much as I’ve read of Shakespeare (and that’s basically just the compulsory reading we had to do at school), I wasn’t fond of it, and it’s mostly because I dislike reading plays. That has had me worried about writing this review, but I guess it IS a retelling, so it’s okay if you read it as a standalone. Today I’m reviewing Miranda and Caliban – a retelling of The Tempest by Shakespeare, which, I must admit, I have not read.
