Educator, director, playwright, and nationally known stage fight choreographer, Cass Foster is a lifelong master of Shakespearean theater. He devotes himself to making Shakespeare more approachable to students and theater companies alike through his highly lauded Sixty-Minute Shakespeare series. 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. Foster's diverse theatrical background includes producing, directing, and choreographing stage fights for over 200 productions for various types of theater. He is now based in Kauai, Hawaii. See less
