Fan CastingThe Tempest
TV Series
Story added by castingsinmyblood on June 10, 2022
a period piece taking place in the late 1500s-early 1600s, presented as "the events which inspired William Shakespeare's 'The Tempest". It's basically my take on a GOT-style budget buster serialized series. The overall series will be broken into three parts (meaning three seasons minimum): before the play, the play, and after the play. While the series won't use Shakespeare's dialogue, it may be worked in some way, such as using it as the "language of magic" if you will.read more
