A scene described in Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” has been transplanted to a windswept cove near the small fishing village of Menemsha in Martha's Vineyard. Beck illustrates how the mischievous sprite, Ariel, obeyed his sorcerer-master, Prospero, by guiding the shipwrecked vessel of King Alonso of Naples into a sheltered and hidden cove, leaving its mariners safely in an enchanted sleep on board. All has been done in accordance with Prospero's elaborate plan to compel those who had betrayed him to atone for their misdeeds, and to bring the exiled duke and his daughter, Miranda, back to their rightful place in Milan.
