Description

An adaptation of The Tempest set in the mid 1700s on an island off the coast of Newfoundland, where Prospero lives with his daughter Miranda. Prospero invokes good and bad spirits in an effort to regain his former position as Duke of Milan, which was wrongfully taken from him by his brother Antonio.
