Synopsis

Caliban rises in a modern, communal masque that blends Shakespeare’s world with a civic stage.

This innovative work, written to commemorate Shakespeare’s tercentenary, fuses dramatic symbolism, pageantry, and song to explore how art can unite communities. Set on the “Yellow Sands,” it follows Caliban’s quest to learn from Prospero’s art, while inviting audiences to participate in a theater of collaboration and shared imagination.

The edition presents the full text of the masque, its inner scenes printed in distinctive type, and an array of illustrations and charts that trace its structure and staging. It also situates the work in a broader tradition of democratic, participatory theater, blending elements of Greek drama, opera, and Elizabethan festival with a distinctly modern aim.

  • Experience a bold, new dramatic form that invites community involvement in the creation of theatre.
  • Follow Caliban’s struggle to master the art of Prospero within a living, social stage.
  • See design notes, stage directions, and appendices that map how a masque becomes a shared civic event.
  • Enjoy illustrations and preliminaries that illuminate the work’s intent and historical context.

Ideal for readers who love Shakespeare-inspired theater, community arts, and innovative stage forms.
