Silent Tempest—Video Post

The Tempest. Silent Shakespeare. Dir. Percy Stow. Perf. Unknown. 1908. DVD. Image Entertainment, 2000.

The silent Tempest is about twelve minutes long. I've provided the opening few minutes. They include the background, the time when "Ariel Saves Miranda from Caliban," and the titular tempest.

Admire the early twentieth-century special effects and the moving acting of "Cast unknown."

Enjoy!
