About the show:
The Tempest is a play about magic, betrayal, love and forgiveness. It is set on an island where Prospero, the one-time Duke of Milan, and his daughter, Miranda, live with a sprite called Ariel and a strange wildthing called Caliban. Prospero, a powerful magician, creates a storm that brings his treacherous brother, Antonio, the new Duke of Milan and his son, Ferdinand, to the island. In the events that follow, murder and mischievous plots abound, and a romance between Miranda and the King’s son, Ferdinand, blossoms.
