The Tempest

In this enchanting tale, Shakespeare’s final masterpiece, a wrongfully exiled duke employs magical powers and a handful of playful island spirits to seek vengeance on the evil conspirators who plotted his fall, all of whom have mysteriously found themselves shipwrecked on his enchanted shore. The Bard’s unrivaled talent for character, romance and comedy shine throughout the play’s fast-moving action, and its heartfelt wisdom remains with us long afterwards.  The duke’s haunting words, “We are the stuff that dreams are made on,” gain prophetic power at the play’s conclusion, especially as he continues, “and our little lives are rounded by a sleep.”
