Pulling a New Rabbit Out of an Old Hat: The Tempest at American Repertory Theater by HowlRound

By Srila Nayak. Here, Caliban is portrayed by a white actor and an actor of color and the racial hybridity of bodies seems to liberate Caliban from a theatrical history of stereotypes and type-casting. He is referred to in jesting horror by Stephano as a creature with "four legs and two voices; a most delicate monster" and American Repertory Theater's "Tempest" finds a fitting way to manifest this description.
