y separately published work icon Beach Blanket Tempest 1984 (Manuscript version)x400603 Z853373 1984 single work musical theatre In 'Beach Blanket Tempest', however, the central character is Vince Prospero, the duke of rock 'n' roll in Elvis-like proportions. He too is marooned on an island with his daughter, but their spirit is from a bottle and not a tree and her name is Gidget. She wants to be free and to ride the wild surf. Bleach Blanket is filled with catchy ballads, love duets, '60s rock 'n' roll and even a visit from the Supreme Beings as the spirits of earth, wind and fire. (Scott Howlett, 'Tempest Gets Funky', Hills Shire Times (12 February 2002): 40).
