After the Island – A Celebration of the Life of David Rowland

Trinitarian Congregational Church 147 Main Street, Northfield, MA, United States

A reading of After the Island, Silverthorne Theater Company Co-Founder David Rowland's full-length sequel to Shakespeare's The Tempest. In 2012, David Rowland penned an imaginative and thoughtful sequel to Shakespeare's famous last work The Tempest. In taking on the subject matter of one of the Bard's most philosophical plays, Rowland portrays the familiar cast as they have become an indeterminate number of years after Prospero and Miranda leave the Island to return to Milan and the less than magical world they found there. In the resonant rhythms of iambic pentameter, we meet an older Duke, Miranda and Fernando; Stephano and Trinculo reprise their drunken schemings; and Ariel returns to advise Prospero and set in motion re-connections and new beginnings.
