September 14–October 27Randall L. Jones TheatreTheTempest:Probing OurImaginationsBy Stephanie ChidesterIN HEROIC LEGEND, JASON“sowed the serpent’s teeth behind theplough,” and soldiers grew from thefertile soil (Ovid, The Metamorphoses, Trans.Horace Gregory [New York: Mentor, 1958],191). Like Jason, Shakespeare sows wordsin our imaginations, and from that fecundground springs a world of creatures—villains,lovers, soldiers, sots, spirits, hobgoblins,shepherds, and kings. He takes us toa reality beyond the surface of imperfectplayers: in the mind’s eye, Cleopatra isimpossibly beautiful, even when played bya boy actor, and the battlefields of Franceand Henry V’s vast army come to gloriouslife in our minds, though the small stage ispeopled with only a few dozen actors. InShakespeare’s hands, the theatre becomes aproving ground where he probes the limitsof our imaginations and where his creaturesexplore the boundaries of human nature.In no play is this more true than TheTempest; Shakespeare seems to ask each ofus just how far our imaginations can takeus. The play opens with a violent sea storm,where a ship is tossed on mountainouswaves and beset by St. Elmo’s fire. We areasked to envision Caliban, a man describedby Prospero as “a freckled whelp, hagborn”(1.2.283), and by others as “a strange fish,”a “mooncalf,” and a “monster” (2.2.28, 116,154; all references to line numbers are fromElijah Alexander (left) as Bassanio and Sara KathrynBakker as Portia in The Merchant of Venice, 2006
