Just so you guys have some context about why Kai and I are losing our absolute marbles.
The Tempest is a classic Shakespearean play. Loosely, a sorcerer named Prospero (guy), a duke of Naples, is betrayed by his brother, escapes death with his daughter and crashes on and takes ownership of a magical island and basically enslaves a spirit, Ariel, to do his bidding (Ariel is male. Yes, it's a male name. This was before Disney's Ariel).
Twelve years later he uses Ariel to crash his enemies, including his brother, onto the island and take revenge. Shindigs ensue, his daughter ends up marrying the prince (don't ask), all is forgiven, Ariel is freed.
This is a heartbreaking play about power, and the most tragic character in it is Ariel who is the actual doer of magic and just wants to be free.
That said. In the production we saw today, Prospero is a woman and is played by, you've already heard it, Sigourney Weaver (of "Alien").
And Ariel. Is. Non-binary. And played by THIS PERSON.
