What? 695
I have been contemplating what would happen if a TV studio gave a director creative control of a production of THE TEMPEST:
Pare down the cast list, it's too hard to follow.
Dukes are undemocratic. Make Prospero a geeky scholar.
Give Miranda a cuter name.
Throw in another hot chick so there's this frenemy thing going on between the two.
Leave out all the murder and rape stuff so kids can watch.
Also leave out all the magic, because some exec's wife thinks that's Satanism.
And make it into just one shipwreck, make Caliban dumber but better-looking with a boss of his own, and make the drunks into a rich married couple. With one of those little useless dogs.
And make Caliban the star. We can call it "Caliban's Island".
...oh fuck.
