Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On

William Shakespeare’s final full-length theatrical work, The Tempest, tells of a faraway island where magic, illusion, and spirits run wild—where a usurped noble and his daughter, banished by betrayal, endure out of sight of society. When a magical tempest brings a royal ship to the island’s shores, schemes for vengeance and justice unfold alongside new love, fantastical happenings, and just maybe…forgiveness…
