The Chester cycle of medieval plays contained episodes about Caesar Octavian and the Sybil and the Slaughter of the Innocents, which included a speaking part for a demon.

The Dominion Drama Festival was founded in Canada in 1932 to help raise the standards of amateur theatre across the country. It was preceded by annual regional competitions, like the Central Ontario Drama Festival, whose winners then competed at the national level. With the rise of professional theatre in Canada after the Second World War, the importance of the Dominion Drama Festival was diminished. The organization ceased operation in 1978. [JEN]

On Tuesday, May 2, 1961 in London, Davies saw the Old Vic stage production of Romeo and Juliet, directed by Franco Zeffirelli (see entry in Travel Diary for that date). He found it vulgarly spoken and deplored its coarse insistence on physical sex. The next day, Davies had lunch with Canadian film and television director Silvio Narizzano, who praised the way Z. got rid of the poetry and went right to the heart of each scene (see entry in Travel Diary for May 3, 1961). Davies’s contempt for Zeffirelli’s realistic and graphic approach thus preceded the famous Zeffirelli film version of Romeo and Juliet of 1968. [JEN]

One of these was the Il Trovatore that Robertson Davies saw in 1967. For the critic John Kraglund (review in the Globe and Mail, September 18, 1967), the sets which Davies admired created the impression that the COC had suddenly stepped blindly back into the past it has been trying to escape.

Robertson Davies, who was a member of the Oxford University Dramatic Society throughout his years at Oxford (1935-1938), stage-managed its production of Richard II, which played the New Theatre in Oxford in February of 1936.

After the November 11 performance in Toronto, this production of Love for Love was taken out of the National Theatre’s repertoire. The cost of transporting the sets back to England being prohibitive, the company was contractually obliged to destroy them, which it did at a cartage depot in Toronto on November 12 (see Herbert Whittaker’s theatre column in the Globe and Mail for November 13, 1967). As he watched the set go up in flames, Whittaker spoke admiringly ofthe beautiful picture [the designer, Lila] de Nobili had conjured of a London back-garden…[and] the stunning cityscape perspective she achieved in place of Congreve’s interior setting. [JEN]
At the time of this performance, Olivier was experiencing side-effects from the treatments for prostate cancer, which had been diagnosed in the late 1960s. He continued acting, however, into the early 1980s, and died, of renal failure, on July 11, 1989. [JEN]
