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.
