Ibsens play, Brand', opens at UT April 22 By KEITH POWELL. Emerald Feature Editor The first American production of Michael Meyer’s new transla tion of “Brand,” a drama by Hen rik Ibsen, will open at the Uni versity Theatre April 22. PRESTON TUTTLE is direc tor of the Ibsen drama. Tuttle’s UT productions have included “Inherit the Wind,” “The Tem pest,” and “Look Back in Anger." Tuttle is utilizing the new Meyer translation because most English versions have been dull and unwieldy. As a further hind rance to its acceptance by Amer ican audiences, “Brand” is ex tremely long — it took almost seven hours to perform at its premiere in 1885 in Stockholm. THE MEYER translation pre sents the real meat of the drama in an adaptation of two and one half hours. This version of “Brand" is the same as one produced last spring in London, where it came one of the most widely acclaimed plays of recent seasons. MEYER'S TRANSLATION and Ibsen’s play received critical plau dits. Michael MacLiammoir, in The Observer, wrote, “The play ... represents the genius of Ib sen, as I understand it, at the highest. It is as overwhelmingly exciting as a thunderstorm.” ED WINTER, last year’s best supporting actor as Caliban in “The Tempest,” is cast as Brand. He was also praised for his role of Marco in “A View from the Bridge.” Janet Parker is cast in the lead female role of Agnes. Nominated best actress last year for two roles, she won the award for her portrayal of Blanche ip “A Street car Named Desire.” She was seen earlier this season as Eileen in the UT-USO Asian touring com pany of “Wonderful Town.” LINDA STEELE will play Brand's mother. She was Stella in last year’s “Streetcar.” OTHER MAJOR roles include Einar, a painter, played by Pat Sullivan, and Gerd, a wild gypsy girl, played by UT new-comer Gretchen Snook. Joe Sand will play the part of the Provost. The Mayor will be played by John Elliott. Cynthia Stillman, a senior in music, is composing an original score of the UT production. TICKETS for “Brand" will go on sale April 18 at the UT box office. The production runs April 22, 23, 28, 29, 30.
