Caliban is described as a "monster, half-man and half-fish". If an actress wanted to play the part, she could disguise her shape with a bulky and padded costume. As Caliban is something of a sexual threat to Miranda, you wouldn't want to look too much like a eunuch. Perhaps padded shoulders and upper body.

Then you can do things with scales and glitter, with splotches of dark makeup or paint, or strings of what might pass for seaweed.

What are facts about the tempest?

The Tempest is about a man called Prospero, who used to be Duke of Milan but was soon betrayed by his own brother called Antonio whilst Prospero studied magic. He was sent out to sea on a boat with his daughter called Miranda, who has never seen a man except her dad and Caliban (who comes up at a later point). Prospero and Miranda soon find themselves on land that they have never seen before, where Caliban shows them around. 12 years later and Prospero is the ruler, with 2 slaves: Ariel, who is neither a Male nor Female. Then there is Caliban, the "dark creature" mentioned before, who does his best to disobey Prospero. Prospero soon discovers that a ship carrying Antonio, Alonso and Ferdinand (the people who overthrew him) was passing near the island. With help from Ariel, Prospero summons The Tempest, a huge storm, to shipwreck them on the island. The stranded try to search for each other, hindered by Ariel along the way. Then Alonso and Ferdinand reunite, but Ferdinand finds Miranda and decides to marry her (without knowing that his father Alonso was the person who banished Prospero). Eventually the situation ends, and Prospero using his magic makes them all forgive each other, and then sets Ariel free. He gives up his magic and returns back home, with everyone except Caliban. Prospero is then reinstated as Duke of Milan. (Oh, and can people PLEASE stop answering if they are just going to go off topic)
