Open to download for the first time on the web.The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, believed written in 1610-11, and thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, plots to revive his little girl Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to lure his usurping sibling Antonio and the complicit Ruler Alonso of Naples to the isle. There, his machinations produce the revelation of Antonio’s low nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso’s child, Ferdinand.
