about

“O Brave new world, that has such people in it!” Shakespeare’s The Tempest is a romantic tragi-comedy with a wide range of serious and comic characters. Prospero, a wizard of the island, has conjured a storm with the help of Ariel, a fairy, to crash a ship carrying corrupt royal passengers. Prospero plans to use his magic for revenge as he was exiled by these people in his former life. Unexpectedly, Prospero’s daughter Miranda, falls in love with Fernando, the prince who was aboard the ship. The whole story takes course in a single day as Prospero must contend with unexpected consequences of his need for power, control, and revenge.
