Birds of Paradise Theatre Miranda and Caliban: The Making of a Monster

Miranda and Caliban:
The Making of a Monster
by
Jennifer Dick and Garry Robson and some bloke called Shakespeare

“Thou liest, malignant thing!”

The People’s Court is now in session. All rise. So what really happened when Miranda met Caliban and Caliban met Miranda and her dad didn’t approve? Visit the island – hear the testimonies – explore the evidence. TV Judge Ariel Storm gives Caliban a chance to give his side of the story.
A tale that led him to be branded throughout history as some kind of monster. Guilty or Not Guilty? You decide!

Part of the British Council’s Shakespeare Lives and inspired by The Tempest, Birds of Paradise Theatre Company have been working with deaf and disabled artists in Hong Kong and the UK to create an exciting new show about a very old problem. Miranda and Caliban:
The Making of a Monster explores the meaning of “home” and our relationship with “the other”. Live, linked simultaneous performances in Hong Kong and Glasgow.
