Data as Prospero.
The Tempest was one of the final plays written by the renowned human playwright William Shakespeare. The play includes the characters of Prospero, the deposed Duke of Milan, banished by his brother to a distant island, who has since become a powerful magician; and Miranda, Prospero's daughter, who was raised by Prospero on the island.
Data performed scenes from The Tempest on the USS Enterprise-D holodeck in 2370. (TNG: "Emergence")
- The Tempest was a partial inspiration for the classic sci-fi film Forbidden Planet which in turn Gene Roddenberry admitted was a major inspiration for Star Trek.
