Temp’est

"These events are not natural. They strengthen from strange to stranger." Island. Water at cliff edge. Rocks. Woman’s VO reading from The Tempest. Set representing wrecked ship. Woman singing. Rough seas. Man swimming. Dead leaves, bracken. Muddy shallows. Woman singing. Wrecked ship set. Real wreck in shallows. Superimposing of set/singer and other images. Camera tracks back to reveal lights and view from studio window; this replaced by image of sea, image of set, falling leaves. VO whispering "These are actors as I foretold you… our little life is rounded with a sleep." Credits.
