THE FIRST PART OF HENRY IV Prince
Hal, heir to the throne of King Henry IV,
scarcely seems competent to assume the
role of kingship. Mistrusted by his own
father, the troubled monarch, and
constantly challenged by the example of
his own rival contemporary, the gallant
Hotspur, Hal lives among low-lifes and
criminals. The play examines the education
of a king. At Festival Theatre. Continues

prepares himself for the inhuman demands
of monarchy. At Festival Theatre.

(8 pm). 21 (8 pm). 25 (8 pm), 28 (2 pm),
Aug. 1 (8 pm).
RICHARD II Shakespeare shapes the
events of a tumultuous period of British
history into a penetrating examination of
the nature of kingship. King Richard
himself becomes one of the most haunting
of Shakespeare's tragic heroes, caught
between the demands made by the role of
the monarch and his own personal identity.
The production will feature three actors
alternating in the title role: Frank
Maraden, Nicholas Pennell and Stephen
Russell. At the Avon Theatre. Continues

THE WOMAN. Edward Bond looks at the
aftermath of the Trojan War, and the
civilizations of Greece and Troy, for
corroboration. Queen Hecuba, a survivor of
Troy, develops her own comprehension of a
life lived with reason and integrity. The
powerful drama that results poses
uncomfortable but necessary question
about the ambivalence of personal and
collective values. At the Avon Theatre.
Previews Aug. 4 (2 pm) and Aug. 5 (7:30
pm ).
OTHELLO. This tragedy of a noble and
courageous man destroyed by jealousy
commands a shattering emotional intens-
ity. Shakespeare brings together the
positive forces of intense love and passion
and the negative powers of hate and envy
in this extraordinary glimpse into the
innermost chambers of the human heart.
At the Festival Theatre. Previews Aug. 5 at
7:30 p.m.
VICTORIA. A group from Canada have all
come to clear away the family's
possessions from a cabin they once built by

feeling among them. At Third Stage.
