Passion play : staging York's The conspiracy and Christ before Annas and Caiphas
(2016)
Book Chapter
A tempest : based on Shakespeare's The tempest ; adaptation for a black theatre / Aimé Césaire ; translated from the French by Philip Crispin
Abstract
A witty and fiercely anti-colonialist revision of Shakespeare's island fling, Césaire turns it into a brilliant assertion of black identity. Prospero is an exiled tyrant, while Caliban becomes a mutinous figure who has clear affinities with Malcolm X. Césaire, major poet, Martinique politician, and coiner of the term negritude has presented not simply a new reading of The Tempest but an original play of astonishing power. This translation was first performed at the Gate Theatre in 1998.
