““We are such stuff as dreams are made on and our little life is rounded with a sleep.””
Prospero a potent magician lives on a desolate isle with his virginal daughter Miranda. He's in exile banished from his duchy by his usurping brother and the King of Naples. Providence brings these enemies near; aided by his vassal the spirit Ariel Prospero conjures a tempest to wreck the Italian ship. The king's son thinking all others lost becomes Prospero's prisoner falling in love with Miranda and she with him. Prospero's brother and the king wander the island as do a drunken cook and sailor who conspire with Caliban Prospero's beastly slave to murder Prospero. Prospero wants reason to triumph Ariel wants his freedom Miranda a husband; the sailors want to dance.
