AB  - Discusses the use of "the new visual aesthetic of painted scenery" in Restoration adaptations of Tempest, arguing that "the idealized 'absent' place of performance provides one way of thinking about the theatrical representation of place as 'not a place,' an idealized artifice that 'colonizes' theatrical space by imposing order on it." Argues alternatively that "the play enables through the experience of its performance a critique of the subordination of place to colonial discourse, no less through its utopianism."
