...their characters’ feelings and development. Mara Sidmore is particularly convincing as Miranda, progressing from spoiled brat at the opening to young woman in love by the end. Unfortunately, Swanson fails to reign in some of his actors’ more wild inclinations. John Kuntz’s Trinculo, dressed in what appears to be a cross between a patchwork quilt and an argyle sweater, is especially over the top. When, on encountering the sleeping Calaban, he says to the audience, “Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows,” his raised eyebrow...

Ariel and Caliban, dressed and body-painted like native islanders, also contrast effectively with the conservatively outfitted Milanese. The butler Stephano (Charles Levin) and the jester Trinculo (Thomas Derrah) who boast more colorful costumes, go through several changes-including some cross-dressing-after they discover a glistering wardrobe...
