Canadian Players To Present "King Lear" The Canadian Players will bring to Indiana Central College the night of Jan. 10 William Shakespeare’s “The Tragedy of King Lear” as the second offering of the Artist Series. The play will be in Ransburg Auditorium at 8:30 p.m. Season tickets still are available and can be bought at a saving over the single admission price for the four remaining events. “King Lear” will be followed by the Westminster Choir Feb. 27, and Pilar Gomez’ Spanish Dancers March 14. All seats are reserved. Season tickets are SB, single performances $2.50. The special rate for high school students is $5 and $1.50, respectively. Reservations may be made by phoning ST. 7-1301 or going to the college ticket office in the gymnasium. In the four years the ICC Artist Series has operated The Canadian Players are the only entertainers to reappear. Last year they performed George Bernard Shaw’s “Saint Joan” to such acclaim that they were re-engaged for 1961-62. David Gardner, who directs “King Lear,” has changed the play’s locale from ancient Britain to the Artic. He explained his decision thus: “The Arctic is more removed from our knowledge and provides a legendary distance which allows us to reflect upon the universal meanings of the play. Lear’s kingdom becomes the top of the world, and his battle with the elements takes on monumental significance.” The well-known tragedy of Lear and his three daughters was first acted at King James’ court during the Christmas holidays of 1606. It was believed to have been inspired by an old fable which had been chronicled before the recorded history of England began.

The role of King Lear will be enacted by William Hutt, a Canadian who is well known in his own country and in England for his stage, movie and television appearances. In previous seasons he has starred as Hamlet, Macßeth and Warwick in “Saint Joan” with The Canadian Players. The much-coveted part of Goneril, one of the king’s two traitorous daughters, went to Tobi Weinberg, another Canadian just returned from the London stage. The other will be portrayed by Maureen Fitz Gerald, and the faithful and loving daughter, Cordelia, is depicted by Judith Coates. Other important characterizations will be given by Mervyn Blake as Kent, Charles Palmer as Gloucester, Herbert Foster as the Fool, David Renton as Edgar, Henry Hovencamp as Edmund, William Brydon as Cornwall, Kenneth Wickes as Oswald, Kenneth Pogue as Albany, and Rex Southgate as the King of France. This cast brings together several actors fresh from Ontario’s Stratford Festival and from London with others who have toured the United States and Canada for many seasons with the Dominion’s national touring theater company, The Canadian Players.
