William Shakespeare
The Tempest
Translator: NÁDASDY Ádám
Prospero, the ruler of Milan, is dethroned and ousted by his power-hungry brother. With his daughter Miranda, he drifts to a remote, deserted island and lives there, dominating the local spirits. Twelve years later, when Miranda has grown up, coincidence finds that all those to whom Prospero owes his downfall and survival are sailing nearby. With his magic, he creates a huge sea storm that washes the boat ashore, leaving many of his enemies and a few friends shipwrecked. In the three hours that follow the storm the lives of the castaways and the islanders are changed forever. András Visky writes: ”A storm rages at sea, human lives are revealed in a strange and extreme situation, history itself is played out before our eyes. Then the waves calm down. The show is over, it was all an illusion. (…) Who can say whether there were any, and who can say that there were not?”
