The Tempest tells the tale
of an exiled wizard, Pros-
pero, and his plan to regain
his rightful dukedom. The
play is set on a magical,
mythical island. The island
is peopled by strange crea
tures such as Ariel, a spirit
of light and joy, and Caliban,
a deformed monster of dark
ness and hate. All the crea
tures are vmd^r Prospero’s
power.
The play opens while a
violent storm is raging. The
. storm is caused by Prospero
in order to shipwreck and
thus cause revenge upon his
brother, Antonio, who had
robbed the wizard years be
fore and left him in exile
with his daughter, Miranda.
Antonio and his crew are
stranded on Prospero’s
strange island and Miranda
falls in love with one of the
young men on the crew, the
first man, other than her
father, she has seen in years.
The play concludes as the
brothers reconcile their dif
ferences and Miranda
marries her lover.
Folger Library Elxhibit Arrives
This college is currently exhibiting the
Folger Shakespeare Library Traveling Ex
hibit “A”. The exhibit, which began Jan. 26
and will continue through Feb. 13. It is be
ing shown in the library from 9 a.m. imtil 5
p.m. in the Special Collections Room. This
“show” is of particular importance in this
Bicentennial year, in celebrating. America’s
literary heritage.
The exhibit is one of 11 such traveling
shows owned by the Folger Shakespeare
Library in Washington D.C.
Exhibit A is the only one of its kind and
contains the most rare material of all the ex
hibits. Included is the First Folio, the first
collected edition of Shakespeare’s dramatic
works. It was printed in 1623 and contains
36 plays. The Folger Exhibit owns 80 of the
200 copies which exist.
Another rare part of the exhibit is the
Second Folio of Shakespeare’s work. It was
published in 1632. The 1664 and 1683 Folios
(Third and Fourth, respectively) are also on
The Quartos of A Midsummer Night’s
Dream, published in 1619 and The Merry
Wives of Windsor, also published in 1619
- are a part of the exhibit.
The Folger Library was established in the
late 1800’s and early 1900’s by Henry Clay
Folger, due to his great interest in Shakes
peare. He brought together the greatest col
lection of Shakespearean material in the
world.
Under the terms of Mr. Folger’s will, the
Trustees of Amherst College administer the
foundation for the Library. The Library has
the largest collection in the Western Hemi
sphere of English books printed before the
middle of the 17th century.
The ultimate goal of the Folger Library is
to procure in some form every significant
book that influenced the English-speaking
people in the Tudor and Stuart periods.
Many scholars feel that
'The Tempest is Shakes-
peeir’s last and most poetic
comedy and that its “roman
tic fantasies have delighted
audiences for centuries.”
The National Company
began in 1963 under the di
rection of Philip Meister and
his wife, Elaine.
Says Meister “We were
asked to do an Emthology
show for Upsala College in
East Orange, N.J. as Elaine
had just performed Goneril
in King Lear at Stratford.
The fee was $15. We spent it
all on postage, formed
“Stagecraft Productions,”
wrote and called people, and
in a short time had enough
bookings for a six-week
Shakespeare tour. We then
hired a company, picked our
plays, rented a bus, and off
we went.”
Meister is a theater vete
ran of 25 years. Before he be
came an independent pro
ducer, he worked as an assis
tant to Serge Koussivitsky
at Tanglewood, and was di
recting fellow at the Ameri
can Shakespeare Academy.
He served as production
manager to Jose Quintero
and assisted him in the
