...arrivals seem motivated by the challenge of building a new, multiracial Zimbabwe; on the contrary, they seem to relish the fading trappings of white supremacy. Says a recently arrived young Englishman: "I'm sick of the situation in Britain, the unions, the high taxes, the lack of opportunity." William McBurnie, 32, a diesel fitter from the Protestant town of Ballymena in Northern Ireland, began work last week in Bindura, a farming community 40 miles from Salisbury.

By diversifying the roles within the play and by adding lots of mime and dance, directors Laura Shiels and Rick Engelhart (who also directed A Mid-summer Night's Dream last year) hope to construct in this Adams/Quincy production of Tempest more than just another alternative to society's mistakes. What will occur on the island is nothing less than a grand Christmas spectacle that...
