This adaptation of Shakespeare’s magical play tells the story of the Duchess of Milan, Prospera, who uses sorcery to cause a shipwreck that brings her treacherous brother to the enchanted isle where she has lived in exile with her daughter for twelve years. Sorcery, monsters, romance, and drunken foolery spin their world into surreal chaos before the siblings meet and order is restored. In this interpretation of "The Tempest," the original male gender of Prospero was changed to female in order to highlight our changing gender roles in society and to examine the power of a mother’s love.
