This performance at the Stratford Festival Theatre was convincing and well - acted. Most of the actors and actresses suited their Shakespearean characters and acted the tragedy with • ease. One mistake in char- acter portrayal was the ac- tor who played Edmund. This actor who was short and blonde and did not fit the tall, dark, evil man I had imagined Edmund to be.

The setting was simple and well-suited for the play. It consisted of a plain building which was used as the inside and the outside of the castle. Its simplicity did not over- power the actors or take away from the suspense -fill- ed plot unravelling on the stage. The sound effects added terrific mood to the play. The loud thunder and flashes of Lightning in the storm scene caused the audience to wait in anticipation for the out- come of the plot.• Although I found the play boring in a few places, the action was horribly realistic. when Gloucester's eyes were plucked out by Cornwall. I was repulsed as I watched the blood drain from the eye ockets. "King Lear" aroused many emotions in me. I felt nger when Regan and oneril joined forces to re- uce Lear's knights. I felt appy when Cordelia and Lear met again at the end.

The play is set in Illyria,* ruled by Duke Orsino (Colin Feore). Viola (Seana Mc- Kenna) and her twin brother Sebastian (Ernest Harrap) are shipwrecked off the coast, each believing the other drowned. Disguising herself as a boy, Viola takes the name Cesario and enters ,the ser- vice of the Duke. She is sent to woo Countess Olivia (Marcia Ricossa) on Or- sino's behalf. But Viola-Cesario is caught between a rock and a hard place. She herself has - fallen in love with her new master. Meanwhile, Olivia's steward Malvolio (Nicholas Pennell) is tricked into thinking the eountess is in love with him. Olivia's kinsmen, Sir Toby Belch (James Blendick), Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Joseph Ziegler), Maria (Barbara March), a waiting woman, and Feste, (Edward Atienza) Olivia's clown are the perpetrators of this ruse, as they have all, at some time, felt Malvolio's out- spoken disapproval. To make matters worse, Olivia falls in love with Cesario (or Viola) !
