Twelve years ago, Prospero was Duke of Milan. Eventually, with the help of Alonso, King of Naples, and the King's brother Sebastian - inveterate enemies of Prospero - Antonio usurped the dukedom for himself. Prospero and his baby daughter Miranda were put to sea in a rotten boat and eventually landed on a distant island once ruled by the witch Sycorax but now inhabited only by her son, Caliban, and Ariel, a spirit.
Shakespeare’s comedy about a major act of betrayal, ill treatment, the development of magic arts and a plot of revenge.
