Temp Auth

an adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest

Duke and his second in command Ariel bring their company, and his daughter Miranda, on a professional retreat to his private island. All, except Cal the beleaguered intern, are having a great time until Duke’s evil brother Antonio shows up with Duke’s ex-wife Alonsa. After their father’s death, Antonio split off half the company and took it for himself, stole Duke’s wife, and maintained partial ownership of the Island; absolutely unacceptable! Now face to face with him for the first time since this betrayal, Duke and Ariel hatch a plan for revenge, Ferdinand drinks his days away, and Miranda and Cal have nightly secret dalliances in the cave by the beach. In a comedy full of revenge capers, Mai Thais, and gay romance, the characters explore the meaning of family and what makes a life complete.
