The scientist Prospero, who instead of ruling as the Duke of Milan has devoted himself to study and the arts, was dethroned by his brother, cast out to sea with his young daughter Miranda, and washed up on an island. Like many of Shakespeare's magical landscapes, the island serves as a testing ground and playground for the newcomers. A place where man can start all over again, far from civilization: the power and powerlessness of the human mind in a battle with nature, of which it is part. And all this against the dark backdrop of colonization.

Here, all of Shakespeare's major themes and those of the Renaissance are once again gathered. With the help of the poetic monster Caliban and the air spirit Ariel, Prospero manages to conjure a storm that brings all his enemies – his treacherous brother and his allies – into his power as shipwrecked individuals. Miranda, who has not seen much of the world beyond the island, falls in love with one of the castaways: Ferdinand, Prince of Naples. If Prospero were to forgo his revenge, the island romance would be a first step towards a general reconciliation.

Shakespeare's last play is, in its poetic playfulness, its desire for world exploration, its rawness and tender melancholy, also a legacy and a farewell from one of the greatest theater figures.
