The Tempest

by William Shakespeare

Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan and powerful sorcerer, conjures a storm to shipwreck his usurping brother on his enchanted island. Shakespeare's late romance blends magic, forgiveness, colonialism, and the limits of power. A meditation on art, control, and letting go.
