Caliban Speaks by Caliban

Caliban Speaks

by: Caliban

 

(Caliban enters the room and speaks to Shakespeare)

 

Caliban: Master! Master!

 I am.

 Caliban.

 

I thank you           

Because of you

I am.

But not only.

 

            Real tears           

            running in memories

            of our common past.

           

            Today,

            I play, I speak.

I dream.


In this scenario

I am not a shadow

but Caliban

seen through light.

 

You can listen to me.

Quite an experience isn’t it?

 

(Caliban moves his head towards the audience)

 Now,

These words that have reached you,

few:

 

I have chosen my voice to laugh, to sing, to be.

We have chosen.

You, and me

to (only) use this ___________(actor is thinking)

possibility.


It is not a question

but a perception

of this___________

present  presented

really.
