The Tempest is in many ways a play about the theater and about theatrical operations and effects.
The Tempest is especially dependent on its stagings: the choices a director makes in his or her casting, the style of acting, costume, make-up, music, and special
theatrical effects are likely to determine an audience’s understanding of the play.
Choose a crucial scene and discuss the how you would direct it in order to achieve your interpretation of the scene. First, explain why you have the chosen this
particular scene: what is its significance for your understanding of the play? How does it address the crucial thematic issues (colonial conquest, power & authority,
artistry and stagecraft, etc.) that we have explored in this play. Second, describe the effects you want to create with your staging, the interpretation you hope to
realize on your imaginary stage. And then give as precise account as possible of your staging of the scene: what would an audience see? How would you direct the
actors? What effects would you use? How would you make use of the stage directions? You need not use any technical language of the stage, but be as precise as possible
in your account of the theatrical elements you are employing.
Be sure to address all relevant aspects of the scene; and justify your choices with close attention to the language of the scene. Two pages, single-spaced.
