Prospero has long been exiled from Italy and banished to a remote island with his daughter Miranda. He uses his magical powers to conjure up a fearsome storm, and his enemies, including his treacherous broth Antonio, are shipwrecked.

And along the way, the reader discovers an unmistakable message that this is Shakespeare's own farewell to the stage.
