Potpourri is sorry for Shakespearean festival fans who
did not attend the closing night performance of "The
Tempest" last Saturday. We haven't missed a closing night
performance in several years, and this was probably the
most delightful of all. lhe entire production seemed as
smooth as silk. That little man from Colorado, James Sandoe,
who annoys some of his good friends by refusing to wear
anything other than good old substantial blue jeans, re
gardless of the occasion, may
comes to clothing but he is certainly an excellent director,
Robert B. Loper, as good an actor as he is a director,
turned in an excellent, mellow performance as Prospero
and Shirley Patton was utterly charming as the naive and
sweet Miranda. John Dobbs was handsome and graceful in
the role of Ferdinand and we thoroughly enjoyed Graham
Woodruff's interpretation of Ariel, the sprite. The costuming
was extravagantly beautiful and that of Ariel was practically
inspired. It was our first experience of seeing all-green
makeup, and we thought it extremely effective.
But above all, we simply loved Ed Brubaker's playing of
Caliban. Ed Brubaker is a good, substantial actor, but we
couldn't forget that this monster, with the horrible, messy
hair and weird costume was just Ed Brubaker. For those
who may not know, Ed Brubaker has the reputation of
being one of the kindest, friendliest men around the theater
and the idea of him being a "monster" was tremendously
funny. Every time he came on stage, we laughed. He must
have been the best-natured
After seeing "The Tempest" in Ashland, we read again
the review which Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times
wrote after seeing the same play staged for the Shakc
n.areBn theater in Stratford. Conn., this summer. It was
directed by William Ball, who

The noted Mr. Atkinson praised many aspects of the

said "It shows how wonderfully things can improve.' Dl-

accomplished much the same mood.
We particularly liked Mr. Atkinson's closing paragraph.
He wrote "Neither Mr. Carnovsky nor his director has for
gotten that 'The Tempest' is Shakespeare's avowal of re
concilation to a world that ho had found callous and greedy.
wu- i th. int snnno Mr. Carnovsky (Prospero) discards
