A repeat from last summer's of the Greenwich.The'atre in Eng-.
Stratford season will he one of, th
highlights of the 1974 Season a
four plays will agaitt presente
to international, audiences, at th
' • Festival Theatre • on the Avon
"Pericles", the Shakespearea
fairy-tale romance, was one o
• the 'trailers' last season, openin
in -July and closing the first wee
• in September. It met with Wide
spread critical and audience ac
claim and so theybaYe decided t
bring it back neXt year. It wil
again be directed by Jean Gas
con, though the cast may not nec
essarily be the same.
The most pre4sing, and a play
which will probably he a sellou
performance every time, sounds
like "The Imaginary Invalid", a
comedy by Molieke. This is one of
the plays which the troupe is tak-
ing•on tour in Australia earlier in
the year; it will he re -staged for
the Stratford season. The story of
a hypochondriac who would like
to have a doctor (and free med-
ical advice) in the family, the
play stars Williarn Hutt, one of
our brilliant native sons, in the
title role. Gascon -again will di-
rect and this, duet, with a Moliere
comedy, is always a winning,
combination. Tanya Moisei-
witsch will return from England
to do the designing. Long a friend
of Stratford audiences, she went
to England in 1970 as a consultant
-designer with the 'New Crucible.
Theatre in Sheffield; this past
year, she has also designed for
the National Theatre of Great
Britain and the Guthrie Theatre
in Minneapolis.
Associate Director at the Fes-
tival, Michael Bawtree, will di-
rect Shakespeare's "Love's La-
bour's Lost", one of his most fa-
miliar comedies. And, as fourth
presentation at the theatre, will
come "King John", set to open in
mid-July. This tragedy by the
great playwright will be directed
by Peter Dews, long a capable
director of productions on the
West End and Broadway, who is
making his debut at Stratford.
With the exception of Mr. Hutt,
members of the cast have not
been announced.
The 1974 season will be your
last opportunity to see the work of
Stratford's resident director, the
great Jean Gascon, who leaves at
the end of the season. He will he
replaced by young Robin Phillips
who is ourrently Artisfic Director
e land. He had also direeted plays
s at Chichester, London, Strat-
d ford -on -Avon and New York; and
e has held the position of Associate
Director at the Bristol Old Vic
n and the Norcott Theatre, Exeter.
f He has directed top Stars like
g • Dame Edith Evans, Sir John
k Gielgud, Joan Plowright and
- Richard Chamberlain.
_ Phillips has also made many
o heads rise and take notice of his
. abilities as an actor. We have
_ seen him in the television 'series,
_ "The Forsyte Saga" in which he
played Wilfred Desert; in the title
role in "David Copperfield" and
t in the horror film, "Tales from
the Crypt" with Sir Ralph Rich-
ardson.
Phillips will come to Canada in
January and will tour the,
country, studying theatre opera-
tions. He will work closely with
Gascon during the 1974 season
and will assume leadership when
the present director leaves at the
end of the season. • '
Looks like a big year ahead for
our Stratford performers — a big
Australian tour, a new Artistic
Director, and a big season ' at
