SYNOPSIS Long before Prospero’s story begins here today, he was once the great Duke of Milan. Overthrown by his sister Antonia, Prospero, along with his three-year old daughter Miranda, was cast to sea, no doubt to die. But Gonzalo, the Duke’s trusted counselor, hid provisions and Prospero’s precious books of magic in the unseaworthy boat and, against all odds, father and daughter reached the safety of a lonely, enchanted island.

Since that time, Prospero has come to rule over Caliban, a savage inhabitant of the island, and Ariel, a spirit of this place. Now, twelve years after his fateful fall from power, Prospero turns his magic into revenge. Conjuring up a terrible storm, he awaits Ariel’s report of a shipwrecked boat with all its human cargo—the same kin who betrayed the duke long ago: his usurping sister Antonia, along with King Alonso’s own power-hungry brother, Sebastian. With Prospero’s magic manipulating the strings of fate, the ship’s passengers safely reach his island, where the king in despair searches for his only son, Ferdinand. But somewhere on this island, the prince, too, has reached safety— as safe as one can be, that is, when one has fallen in love, which Ferdinand does upon first sight of Miranda.

As Sebastian plots to kill his brother and usurp the throne of Naples, Caliban teams up with two other shipwrecked passengers, Stephano and Trinculo, in a plot to kill Prospero and seize the island back. At last, Prospero settles the score with his enemies, surprising all with the human power he discovers in his hands and heart. from the Chicago Shakespeare Theater
