About the Play
Left stranded on an island after a betrayal, the sorcerer Prospero unleashes a storm to shipwreck his enemies and demand vengeance. But as a web of dark magic, monstrous allies, and ancient spirits tightens around the royal survivors, the stakes rise when his own daughter falls for the enemy’s prince. Prospero must choose between total annihilation or forgiveness. This romantic comedy is a crowd favorite, and one that our Founding Fathers enjoyed during the American Revolution.
