164 GRADE l3 ATTEND CREST THEATRE Appreciation of UD,Qhn,9 Caesar and Cleopatra Anticipating a splendid evening of Shakespeare at its best, the members of C-rade l3 attended the Crest Theatre the evening of Jian, 5, The original prologue written by George Bernard Shaw in the early nineteen hundreds was used as the introduction of Caesar and Cleo patra as directed by Leon Majorh The purpose of it was the deliverance of satirical taunts to the audience as well as rnany social criticisms, li think this was most effective, since it attracted the immediate attention of the audience , Pa was played by Frances Hyland, This was contrary to my earlier belief that Ra was definitely a mann Toby Robins, in her role cof Cleopatra, was more of Shakes- pear's emotional, persuasive woman than ofShaw'fs genuine, innocent girl., Nathan Cohen in his review of Caesar and Cleopatra said, 'tToby Robins' Cleopatra is darkly handsome and she is intermittently successful in catch ing the feeling, if not truly the appearance, of genuine girlhood, In later scenes, when the girl is speedily coming to emotional age, Miss Robins is much more persuasive in the later scenes than in earlier ones, l thought her performance was even throughout, and ever effective, Mayor Moor, as Caesar, was not as effective and thrilling as his leading lady., When his age was mentioned, his actions and facial expressions fhistronicsy were very impressive and quite amusing.. But he lacked the handsome dignity I thought he might possess and he became quite carried away in some of his minor speechesa He makes it clear in earlier scenes that his affection for Cleopatra is completely paternal. Jonathon White was the dashing young Romeo who played Apollodorus, His character was too affected and he tried to create a great spectacle of himself., Even while the major characters were speak-A ing, he was running about and perhaps detracting from them a little, Still, l liked this character: he seemed to appeal to me very much, These were the three actors who left the greatest impression on me, But l will never forget the valid performances of Cosette Lee as Ftatateeta and Arno Gotthard as Theodotus, The sniall revolving stage made it impossible for the third act to be stagedq l feel this ruined the character of Apolodorus, partially ruined Ftatateeta and failed to develop Caesarls affection for Rufiot

Apollodorus appears in the fourth act without explanation of whom he was or why he was in the play, Ftatateeta's gruffness, strength and hostility are not completely revealed without the third act, The costumes were ex- ecuted by Judy Peyton Ward, The colours were bright and excitingt Frances Hyland has stated that the costumes and jewellery appeared to the audience to be gorgeous but in reality the jewellery was of dime store quality and the curt ain material was painted., I have already mentioned the fact that the third act was omitted. The omission of this battle sequence took away the comic relief and the complete development of some charactersn In Shawls play the dress of Apollodorus was described in detailt l-le was dressed in the most delicate purples and dove greys, with ornaments of bronze, oxydized silver and st ones of jade and agate u ln the Crest performance he was dressed i.n yellow and white with much jewelleryh Cleopatra stated that she was married to Ptolemy and Theo.- dotus clarified this saying, The kings and queens of Egypt may not marry except with their own royal bloodh Ptolamy and Cleopatra are born king and consort just as they are born brother and sistern Britannus was shocked, Caesarz this is not properh This reflects the thoughts of many present day British people who think their way of life is the only way., British superstition was criticised with the comment on table rappingtz Are such superstitious still believed in the year 707 of the Republic, These two examples seemed to have a message applicable for 19620 At the Crest theatre, the play was well received by the audience, with particular applause for Toby Robins and Mavor Moor, I enjoyed this production but the Stratford production of Romeo and Juliet was more appealing to met Mary Thompson l. 3B Joke: Hgighbrow: A person who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Rangeru
