A Tempest: Based on Shakespeare's the Tempest,

5,C?saire's Tempest, in translation by Richard Miller, is a sprightly and song-filled enchantment. The luminous intelligence of Mr. C?saire's meditation on the absurdities of colonialism shines through the antics of the bewildered characters.--New York Times C?saire's rich and insightful adaptation of The Tempest draws on contemporary Caribbean society, the African-American experience and African mythology to raise questions about colonialism, racism and their lasting effects.
