Village Squire, 1980-09, Page 25UPDATE Martha Henry will play in King Lear Martha Henry will join the company of King Lear in this season's revival of the Stratford Festival's 1979 produc- tion. Miss Henry will appear as Goneril this year. She has been the leading lady in many Stratford productions in the past, including last season's Love's Labour's Lost, Henry IV, Part II and the North American premiere of Edward Bond's The Woman. This year the actress directed the Third Stage production of Brief Lives. King Lear will once again star Peter Ustinov as Lear, with William Hutt as the Fool, Douglas Rain as Gloucester, Jim McQueen as Kent and Richard Monette as Edmund. A newcomer to the production is Lynne Griffin as Cordelia. She last appeared at Stratford in 1975 in Fellowship at the Third Stage. In the past two years Miss Griffin has received critical praise for her portrayals of Ellie in Heartbreak House at the Shaw Festival, Marianne in Tales From the Vienna Woods at Vancouver Playhouse and Charlotte in Strawberry Fields for the Toronto Free Theatre. LSO will tour small towns The London Symphony Orchestra is planning once again this season to bring its high quality entertainment to smaller centres in southwestern Ontario where there is little opportunity to experience such performances.

Tillsonburg, St. Thomas, Stratford, Chatham and Hanover. Plans are in the works for per- formances in Wingham and Seaforth as well.
