Full of romance, magic, and intrigue, The Tempest is considered by most scholars to be the last play written by William Shakespeare. Having been wrongfully exiled with his daughter, Miranda, by his brother from his seat as the Duke of Milan, the wizard Prospero has been living on a remote island for more than a decade. When chance brings his political enemies within his grasp, Prospero conjures a magical storm to wreck their ship and bring those who plotted against him to his new kingdom. Using his magical servant, Ariel, as a tool for mischief, Prospero manages to punish those who would conspire against him, brings Miranda and the noble prince Ferdinand together in love, and reconciles with his adversaries.
