In 1611, Shakespeare's renowned play, "The Tempest", premiered at the Blackfriars theatre, charming King James I and captivating audiences ever since. Known for its musical elements and magical themes, this play is best suited for indoor venues rather than the outdoor Globe theatre. With its intricate stage directions and captivating narrative of magic, betrayal, and redemption, "The Tempest" has remained a timeless classic, leaving its mark on both theatre and literature.
The story begins with a fierce storm, causing a shipwreck near a Mediterranean island where Prospero, a powerful magician, resides with his daughter, Miranda. It is revealed that Prospero was betrayed and stripped of his title by his own brother. As he and Miranda discuss the events that led them to the island, Prospero sends his spirit servant, Ariel, to gather firewood.
