Love is in the stormy air! Just as Prospero planned. Ferdinand has adored Miranda from the first moment he saw her. She is kind and beautiful. He is handsome and noble. He thinks her a “precious creature”. She agrees to be his wife! It’s not official, though. Her father isn’t there to give his consent. They reluctantly part.

Elsewhere on the island, the three drunks are back to their whining and moaning. Insulting Caliban, as usual. They hatch yet another brilliant plan. They will commit murder so that Stephano can marry Miranda and be king. The spirit Ariel spooks them with mysterious music, then goes to Prospero to report the latest. Spirits make excellent spies.

The Shakespeare@ company creates such an amazing three-dimensional production using “only” their voices. The scenes unfold in the mind of the listener, magical and soothing. A pleasant break from reality.

Part Four will air on October 22.
