‘For Prospero, Time does not heal all wounds.
After being usurped as the Duke of Milan by his brother, Prospero and his daughter Miranda found refuge in a small harsh and exotic land. Twelve years later, with the arrival of some unexpected shipwrecked visitors, Prospero is ripe for vengeance.
The time has come to settle an age old grudge so Prospero magics up a storm – an array of mystical events causing havoc. Meanwhile, a love-at-first-sight romance blossoms between his island-raised daughter and King Alonso’s son Ferdinand – an unfortunate island captor. The past meets the present with Gonzalo, the former Duke’s trusted companion who helped him escape a decade earlier, finding himself shipwrecked on the island with the King of Naples and his party. A tale of revenge, forgiveness, mutiny and magic ensues. Love, in the end, restoring the wrongs of the past. Directed by Joanne Watt.’
