"We are such stuff as dreams are made on." Lyrical, enchanting, full of grace and grandeur, Shakespeare's final romance is regarded by many to be his finest. Years before the play begins, Prospero, the Duke of Milan, and his daughter Miranda, were stranded on a fantastical island inhabited by sprites, fairies and monsters. There, Prospero develops magical powers which he now uses to shipwreck a boat and separate its regal voyagers, among them the King of Naples and his son Ferdinand. Miranda, now a teenager, is naïve to the ways of the world and has never beheld a young man - until she sees the handsome Ferdinand. "O brave new world that has such people in't!" she cries. Don't miss this exquisitely told tale of transgression and redemption, exile and return.
