Synopsis
(spoilers within!)
Prospero, a magician and the rightful Duke of Milan, dwells on an enchanted isle with her daughter,
Miranda. Twelve years earlier, the duke’s brother, Antonio, and Alonso, the King of Naples, conspired
to usurp her throne. They set Prospero and Miranda adrift in a boat, and they eventually found
themselves marooned on the island. Prospero is served on his island by Ariel, a spirit who she freed
from a tree with magic, and Caliban, son of the witch Sycorax. When magic reveals that a ship
bearing her old enemies is sailing near the island, Prospero summons a storm to wreck their ship. The
survivors make it to shore in scattered groups. Among these is Ferdinand, the son of Alonso. He is
lulled to Prospero’s abode by the singing of Ariel; there he meets Miranda, who is enthralled with the
young prince.
Meanwhile, Antonio, Alonso, Sebastian, and Gonzalo wander the island in search of Ferdinand.
Antonio now plots with Sebastian to murder Alonso, but this plot is thwarted by Ariel. Elsewhere on
the island, Stephano and Trinculo encounter Caliban. After sharing a few drinks, Caliban tries to enlist
the two in a plot to kill Prospero and rule the island himself. He even promises Miranda to Stephano.
Ariel, however, reports all these goings-on to Prospero. In the meantime, Miranda and Ferdinand
pledge their love to each other.
