A terrible storm. A shipwreck. The king of Milan and eight courtiers are stranded on a desert island. But not just any island: Enter the dreamlike world of Prospero, the powerful magician-scientist who rules with his daughter Miranda, his two fairy slaves Ariel and Caliban, and hundreds of magic spirits. For the stranded gentry, the island is a mysterious, enchanted land where they can strip away the conventions of the court and reveal their true, most dangerous, most thrilling desires. Shakespeare’s last play is a love story, an adventure, and a comedy packed with magic spells, revenge, jealousy, honor, and discovery.
