About this book
In the early 20th century, as the world grappled with rapid social change and artistic innovation, "Caliban by the Yellow Sands: A Community Masque of the Art of the Theatre" by Percy Mackaye emerged as a vibrant celebration of community and creativity. This unique work not only commemorates the tercentenary of Shakespeare's death but also reimagines the character of Caliban from "The Tempest," exploring themes of identity and belonging. Through its innovative use of communal performance and rich theatricality, Mackaye invites readers to reflect on the transformative power of art. Ideal for students and civic activists, this masque serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring relevance of Shakespearean themes in contemporary discourse.
