Banished from her dukedom, the Duchess Prospero magically controls an enchanted isle, ruling
over its supernatural inhabitants while raising her cherished daughter Miranda. With an
opportunity for vengeance, Prospero summons a wild storm to shipwreck her enemies. But
when mortal castaways and magical creatures collide, strange things unfold. Shakespeare’s
final testament to the redeeming power of mercy is an enchanting spectacle for all ages.
