Purchase options and add-ons

The Tempest, a story about family, treachery, and love, revolves around a father’s magical manipulations that control his daughter’s romantic fate and exact revenge upon his enemies. The lead figure, Prospero, uses magic to shipwreck his brother, Alonso, and Alonso’s companions after they steal his position as Duke and leave him and his daughter, Miranda, to die. Much like its title, the play explores not only the stormy seas called forth by magic, but the whirlwind of emotions that rule Prospero’s actions and those of his foes. In the end, calmer seas prevail. Miranda’s happiness in finding love leads Prospero to forgive his brother and to eventually ask the audience to also forgive him for his selfish actions. Sixty-Minute Shakespeare: The Tempest is written in a manner true to the Bard’s intent, while being presented in a condensed form that can prove less daunting to some readers. The Sixty-Minute Shakespeare condensation of the classic is also a more approachable production for some schools and theater companies because it only takes 60 minutes to stage, rather than the three-hour commitment of the original play. Cass Foster’s The Tempest does not modernize the prose and verse, but instead provides the kind of rich experience, loyal to the original, that only a lifelong master of Shakespearean Theater could create.

Educator, director, playwright, and nationally known stage fight choreographer, Cass Foster is a lifelong master of Shakespearean theater.

The series includes A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo and Juliet, Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night and Foster s eighth book, The Tempest. His experience as a professor emeritus of theatre has enabled him to condense the plays to be staged in 60 minutes rather than three hours, while maintaining the Bard s enduring prose.

Cass started his academic career moving directly from earning his MFA in Directing from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana to an Assistant Professorship at The Ohio State University. Cass's eclectic background includes teaching all aspects of theatre to directing shows both academically and professionally. Besides his expertise with Shakespeare he choreographs stage fights throughout the U.S.

When asked about the origins of his Shakespeare series he tells us, "While on the university faculty I was often approached by high school teachers to help them better understand either teaching or directing Shakespeare. "Help. Please. I never studied Shakespeare and have no experience directing. And now I'm asked to both." So helping them was the bottom line to the series. I think the books as well as the very kind reviews speak for themselves.

"The greatest gift from this fascinating experience is when Nellie (his wife) and I have been invited to elementary and high schools to view their performances and meet with their students. Their success, enthusiasm and love of Shakespeare is what this is all about. Their introduction to the one-hour version has accomplished what I intended from the very start: the desire to explore his plays as fully written.

"So whether you are as young as the highly enthusiastic second graders who have staged these scripts or as old and amazing as some of the community theatre participants who produce them, I hope you enjoy and benefit from the series as much as I have.

"As we say, here on Kauai: Mahalo Nui Loa."
