Not My Cup of Tea

To Eat, or Not to Eat (People)?

As someone who has never read the Tempest, I found it quite difficult to connect with Kaliban and his story. There were a few moments where I lost track of the story and couldn’t fully grasp the overarching message or theme. Nevertheless, Andrew Hamilton’s portrayal of the brutish Shakespeare character was riveting. Listening to the subtle changes in his booming voice as he acted as different characters was intriguing. Although I may not have been part of the target audience, Kaliban is a fine production that would undoubtedly appeal to fans of Shakespeare.
