The Tempest
The Tempest marks Shakespeare’s final masterpiece, blending magic, betrayal, and redemption. When the rightful Duke of Milan, Prospero, is betrayed and cast out to sea, he finds refuge on a mysterious island with his daughter Miranda, the spirit Ariel, and the monstrous Caliban. Years later, a storm conjured by Prospero shipwrecks his enemies on the island’s shores. As magic swirls and secrets surface, young lovers meet, old scores rise to the surface, and nothing is quite what it seems.
