What if Shakespeare's The Tempest was a gripping post-war drama, set in a remote Italian villa in 1946, where an exiled count uses his resistance network to confront those who betrayed him? Welcome to Broadway Blast Back's 'Post-War European Resistance' take on this classic!
In this intense adaptation, Shakespeare's profound narrative of betrayal, power, and forgiveness is steeped in the shadows of post-World War II Europe. Get ready for a story where partisan contacts and psychological manipulation become the tools for a wronged intellectual to orchestrate a reckoning with his past.
Our story transports us to 1946, to a secluded Italian mountain villa, a refuge in the fractured landscape of post-war Europe. Here, Prospero, an exiled Italian count and brilliant resistance intellectual, lives in hiding with his daughter, Miranda. He was forced from his position and betrayed by his own brother, Antonio, who collaborated with the fascist regime. Now, Prospero, a master strategist and manipulator, maintains a clandestine network of partisan contacts, his mind sharp and his resolve unyielding. The quiet tension of their existence is shattered when a violent storm forces a vehicle to crash near their villa.
Among the survivors seeking shelter are none other than his treacherous brother, Antonio, and others who played a part in his downfall. This unexpected convergence sets the stage for a dramatic confrontation. Prospero, using his deep understanding of human nature and his loyal network of partisan fighters – including Ariel, a young, dedicated partisan, and Caliban, a shell-shocked former soldier haunted by the war – begins to orchestrate a psychological battle. He forces his betrayers to confront their past actions, their guilt, and the consequences of their choices in a world still reeling from conflict. The villa becomes a crucible where justice, revenge, and the possibility of reconciliation are fiercely debated amidst the lingering echoes of war.
