In theaters December 10th, 2010.

In Julie Taymor's version of 'The Tempest,' the gender of Prospero has been switched to Prospera. Going back to the 16th or 17th century, women practicing the magical arts of alchemy were often convicted of witchcraft. In Taymor's version, Prospera is usurped by her brother and sent off with her four-year daughter on a ship. She ends up on an island; it's a tabula rasa: no society, so the mother figure becomes a father figure to Miranda. This leads to the power struggle and balance between Caliban and Prospera; a struggle not about brawn, but about intellect.

I'd love to know if his story was based off previous character analysis and research or if he was making these decisions for Trinculo as he was saying it. Either way, amazing to watch.

[captainsplifford]

As someone who has played Trinculo before, I can say that he's got that character down better than just about anyone. Love it.

i find it impressive that his sentence structure is very Jamesian. this is making me turned on. ... badly... just by sentence structure!

[lunaralan]

Yeah, but he's really high most of the time. But who am I kidding, he's so cool!!
