Genderbend on the Beach

Bard on the Beach has been in full swing since early July, entertaining countless Vancouverites and visitors. This season’s lineup includes the Shakespearean classic, The Tempest, but audience members familiar with the play might notice something a tad different about the cast of characters. Tempest director, Meg Roe has chosen to reinterpret two of the male characters as female, turning the comedic Stephano and Trinculo into sisters, Stephana and Trincula.
