This serves as a reference for High School Story: Class Act, Book 3.

The Tempest, a play by William Shakespeare, is adapted into a musical as Berry High School's entry into the Spotlite competition in London. After the first scene, which takes place on a ship at sea during a tempest, the rest of the story is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, a complex and contradictory character, lives with his daughter Miranda (rewritten as his son Milo) and his two servants — Caliban, a savage monster figure, and Ariel, an airy spirit. The play contains music and songs that evoke the spirit of enchantment on the island. It explores many themes including magic, betrayal, revenge, and family. In act four, a wedding masque serves as a play-within-the play, and contributes spectacle, allegory, and elevated language.
