Exiled to a remote island for twelve years after his brother stole his dukedom, the sorcerer Prospero finally gets his revenge within reach: a ship carrying his enemies, wrecked by a storm of his own making, washes its passengers onto his shore. But what begins as a plot for vengeance becomes something closer to reconciliation, as Prospero orchestrates romance, comedy, and reckoning among the survivors before laying down his magic for good. Widely believed to be Shakespeare's final solo-written play, The Tempest is his most enchanted work — equal parts fairy tale, political drama, and a quiet meditation on power, forgiveness, and letting go.
