A bitter feud poisons the peace of Verona. The hatred dividing the Montgues and Capulets some too old to fight and some too young to die - erupts in blood and violence.

The Tempest 

tempest.jpg (38502 bytes)Elemental spirits lurk and the air shimmers with enchantment on Prospero's island. His royal title usurped, Prospero and his young daughter Miranda, washed up on its shores 12 years earlier. Since then, the exciled duke has brooded on the injustice done to him as he has mastered the art of magic. At last, Fate places the architects of his downfall within his grasp. In the charmed crucible of Shakespeare's farewell masterpiece, Prospero conjures a storm that will transform ancient enemies, innocent lovers and the great magician himself.
