The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610-1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to cause his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to believe they are shipwrecked and marooned on the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand.All Rights Reserved

Drusilla The Duchess by PersiaLove

Drusilla Tempest, The Duchess of Timberhall, finds herself widowed right after marrying her much-older royal husband in order to preserve her nation's monarchy. Nevertheless, after her mourning period finishes, she is called to the palace and is obliged to take on royal duty as one of the only members left of Dresnia's Royal Family. Even though Drusilla never envisions this new life for herself, her patriotic and unshakeable duty to her family win out in the end and she takes her philanthropic endeavours by storm with practiced whimsical charm and grace. Soon, her beauty and candour blow her up into the hottest royal worldwide, putting her small northern island nation on the global map. With growing influence, Drusilla battles with her own desires for what she wants out of life, resenting the fishbowl she's forced into and the dangers it presents to her when she's stalked and her privacy is constantly invaded. As her fame continues to mount, Drusilla propels the Dresnian Royal Family to international heights, attracting organizations and world leaders, including the controversial yet fascinating and charming dictator, Semion Crusoe. When Drusilla's philanthropic goals lead her to work with the infamous, ruthless leader disliked by much of Europe and the world in the hopes of making better change, she soon finds herself in a tangled web of feelings for Semion, treading a very dangerous line between obligation and matters of the heart. President Semion Crusoe is her country's enemy, after all. Anything other than a shaky political alliance is impossible, right? Or is it?

Othello by WilliamShakespeare

Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603. It is based on the story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The story revolves around its two central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army and his unfaithful ensign, Iago. Given its varied and enduring themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge and repentance, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theatre alike, and has been the source for numerous operatic, film, and literary adaptations.
