In Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Prospero, exiled Duke of Milan, uses his spirit servant, Ariel, to shipwreck his enemies and enact revenge on those that betrayed him.  While employing magic to comically toy with the visitors and his imprisoned servant, Caliban, Prospero also employs his theatrical arts to arrange a marriage for his daughter Miranda and set the political world to rights. The story unfolds with laughter, sorrow, justice, and of course, wonder, affirming the power of storytelling and magic, as well as their limits.
