Miranda After the Storm, or What Happens to Savage Little Whores

by Amanda Zeitler

In this contemporary epilogue to Shakespeare's "Tempest" we find out what happens to Miranda after she and her father leave the island and return to Naples. In her training to become a lady and a princess, Miranda struggles to abandon her "savage" ways and follow the strictures of the court, until an assault from Ferdinand causes her to flee back to the safety of her real home.

Miranda After the Storm, or What Happens to Savage Little Whores

Miranda, f, 16, free-spirited, inquisitive, naive to the ways of this other world, but not an idiot
Ferdinand, m, 18-20s, a loveable idiot, until he's not
Prospero, m, dad-aged, studious, ambitious, selfish with a loving streak
Sister Drusia, f, mom or grandma-aged, proper, pious, and a great sense of disdain for most
people
Camilla, f, of an age with Miranda and Ferdinand, manipulative, charming, mean-spirited
Caliban, m, of an age with Miranda, bit of a whiner, a pessimist, but good at heart
Ariel, f, ageless, a piece of Miranda's soul, the embodiment of her magic
