As You Like It7 Performed
To Create Play That's Alive
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
TUESDAY. JULY 24. 1962
It has been said that a good goes Into the forest and joins
ay to measure a fine stage the exiled duke's band,
roduclion is in Its ability to Rosalind, disguised as a
take -the audience forget young man, jests at Orlando s
jout time. The Oregon love sickness for her. She of-
hakespearean Festival's pre
station of "As You Like
," which premiered at Ash
ind last night, runs about
vo-and-a-half hours in
ngth .tperformed as Shakes
care intended it - without
n intermission). But when
le play was over, it seemed
; if ij had lasted but an
our.
"As you Like It" is a hap
y play to begin with. Jerry
urner. of Areata, Calif., who
irectccl this festival 'fcring,
oints "out that many people
:gard- it as one of Shakes
eare'S most perfect plays.
But ia fine play is only as
ne on stage as the princi
als involved make it, and
le principals who appear in
lis production and who
orked behind the scenes
ave combined to create a
lay that is very much alive,
'roduclion Is Bright
"Bright" is an appropriate
'ord to describe the festival
reduction of th's play. Vir
jally all of the performances
apture the bright spirit of
hakeSpeare's lines and com
mnicate them to the audi
nce, and the costumes, de
igned -by Marie Chesley, add
nmeasurably to the bright
nd happy feeling the play
xudes.
"As ."You Like It" is about
omance. It concerns four
airs of lovers and winds Uj
nth a! quadruple wedding.
Rosiflind, the daughter of a
ani?hed duke, becomes in
2reste3 in Orlando, a young
r brother of the wicked Oli
er at: a wrestling match at
ne court of Duke Frederick,
rother of the exiled duke
nd usurper of his dominions,
tosalind Banished
Rosalind is subsequently
anishpd by Duke Frederick
nto the Forest of Arden
herellier father, the exiled,
uke, Is living the life of a
lobin'Hood. Orlando also
fers to "cure" him if he will
make love to her as if she
were Rosalind.
In the meantime, the wick
ed Oliver comes into the for
est and is saved from death
by Orlando, an act which
transforms the elder brother
into a kind gentleman. Oliver
subsequently becomes infatu
ated with Celia, daughter of
Duke Frederick, who fled in
to the forest with Rosalind
because she could not bear to
be separated from her.
Drawn Into Plot
Touchstone, a court clown
who aided Rosalind and Celia
in their escape into the for
est, gains an interest in Aud
rey, a country wi ich. Also
drawn into the plot are Sil
vius, a shepherd who is in
fatuated with Phebe, a shep
ardess. The play winds up happily
with the quadruple wedding
and the news that Duke Fred
erick has sotvened, restoring
the exiled duke to his former
station.
All of the major roles in
the play are performed ex
tremely well. Two or three of
the minor players seemed un
sure of themselves, and the
opening night performance
got a little clumsy at the end
when the whole cast is re
quired to engage in song and
dance merriment on the rela
tively small Shakespearean
stage. Otherwise the produc-1
tion was excellent.
Elizabeth M. Huddle gives
a fine performance in the dif
ficult role of Rosalind. Les !
Carlson capturees well the
boyish idealism in the charac
ter of Orlando.
Touchstone's Performance
Perhaps most outstanding
is James Tripp's performance
as Touchstone, the clown,
surprisingly quite an impor
tant role in the play. Also ex
cellent are Daniel J. Hoppe
as Jaques, one of the lords
attending the banished duke.
and Michael Fuchs as the
banished duke himself.
Sally Pagliuca fits the part
of Celia well, as does Julie
Townley the role of Audrey,
the country wench. William
Royston last night seemed a
little out of place as Oliver,
the wicked brother of Orlan
do who reforms, but his per
formance was never-the-less
polished.
Outstanding in smaller roles
are Charles Miller, adding
comic touches in the part of
Le Beau, a courtier attending
upon Duke Frederick, Charles
G. Taylor as an elderly shep
herd Corin, and Richard S.
Ramos as Charles, a wrestler.
Also performing well are
Eugene Dynarski as Duke
Frederick; George Sanchez as
Silvius, the young shepherd;
Robert Bridges as Sir Oliver
Martext, a vicar; Kirk-Mce, a
country fellow and Diane de
Laubenfels as Phebe, the
shepherdess. - C. E. T.
