And so we reach the end of our voyage. Revenge and murder, pending. Love and marriage, pending. Return of the throne to its rightful owner, pending.

Prospero reveals to Ferdinand that all his harsh tasks were a test, to make sure that he was worthy of Miranda. Prospero summons Ariel to round up the rebellious rabble and bring them to him. Prospero is about to sort everything out, once and for all. The magic drops away to reveal reality and justice as declared by Prospero.

This last episode brings together all Shakespeare’s themes: justice versus injustice, freedom versus captivity, betrayal, forgiveness, and, finally, peace.

Standing ovation for Shakespeare@ and its talented cast.
