NOTES ON "RICHARD III"THE WARS OF THE ROSES was the name given to a protracted struggle between the House of

Lancaster, whose emblem was the Red Rose, and that of York, whose emblem was the white . The stakewas the crown of England .When the play begins HENRY VI, the last of the Lancastrian Kings, has been killed ; so has his sonEdward of Lancaster . The House of York has been victorious ; EDWARD OF YORK is King .Edward has two younger brothers : GEORGE, DUKE OF CLARENCE, and RICHARD, DUKE OFGLOUCESTER.The play is concerned with Richard's ruthless quest of the power for which his physical deformity makes

him avid .One by one all those who stand between RICHARD and the Throne are eliminated . First, his own

brother, CLARENCE; then the Lords, Rivers and Grad the upstart kindred of King Edward's consort,ELIZABETH WOODVILLE ; then her two young sons, by King Edward, the celebrated "Little Princes",whom Richard caused to be smothered in the Tower ; then LORD HASTINGS, a staunch supporter of thelegitimate line ; then the Duke of Buckingham, Richard's principal confederate, who, when finally Richardhas mounted the throne, stood too near him in power .

In the end Richard is defeated and killed at the Battle of Bosworth by HENRY TUDOR, EARL OFRICHMOND in whom were united the bloods of York and Lancaster, the white rose and the red, and who,as King HENRY VII, who, in one of the play's great scenes, appears -almost as a symbolic figure ofrevenge - and curses Richard and all the supporters of the Yorkist cause .

Other personages, whose relation to the play it may be helpful to know, are ANNE, widow of Edwardof Lancaster, daughter-in-law of Henry VI, whom Richard woos, marries and eventually destroys ; the oldDUCHESS OF YORK, who is the mother of King Edward, Clarence, and Richard; and LORD STANLEY,who is Richmond's stepfather .

It may be as well to recall, that, in addition to the white rose, the House of York was symbolized byA Sun (to which reference occurs at the very opening of the play) ; while Richard's own personal emblemwas a Boar, hence he was sometimes referred to as the Boar, a Nickname often used of him in the play .

The Board of Directors of the Foundation wish to take this opportunity tothank all those whose contributions have made this 1953 Stratford ShakespeareanFestival possible .

Who's WhoTYRONE GUTHRIE - With his inter-

national reputation in the theatre, TyroneGuthrie has been from the beginning one ofthe leading lights in the Stratford Shake-spearean Festival . Former administrator anddirector of the Old Vic Theatre in London,Tyrone Guthrie has directed productions inFinland, Palestine, and New York .

He is, perhaps, best known on this sideof the Atlantic for his Edinburgh Festivalproduction of "The Three Estates", "High-land Fair" and The Metropolitan Operaproduction of Carmen .

This is not the first time he has workedin Canada . He was the first man to produceDrama on Canadian radio and many of themen who worked with him in those earlydays of wireless, are now leaders in theirown field .

The idea of Stratford, Canada, holding aShakespearean Festival attracted TyroneGuthrie from the beginning . After makinga preliminary survey in July of 1952, hewent back to England and began schedulingthe actual productions which are takingplace this summer .

It is Tyrone Guthrie's firm convictionthat while Canada can borrow inspirationfrom England, the project should and willbe essentially Canadian . As he wrote in anearly letter : " . . . it should demonstrablybe a Canadian scheme carried through byCanadians, but with help from Great Britanand we have in this project a chance tomake a conspicuous and therefore poten-tially USEFUL gesture in favour of Anglo-Canadian co-operation."

His most recent film appearances arein "Malta Story" and "The Captain's Para-dise", soon to be shown in Canada .

IRENE WORTH-Probably best knownon this continent as Celia in T . S . Eliot's"The Cocktail Party" the role she createdfirst at the Edinburgh Festival and later inNew York and London . Irene Worth hasappeared in many major productions includ-ing such plays as Saroyan's "Time of YourLife" ; with Clive Brook in Molnar's "ThePlay's The Thing" ; and later with LeslieBanks in Priestly's "Home is Tomorrow"creating the role of Lady Fortrose.

Who's WhoTANYA MOISEIWITSCH-Designer of

the stage and costumes for the Stratford,Canada, season, Tanya Moiseiwitsch is oneof the leading designers of the EnglishTheatre. Daughter of the famous pianist,Benno Moiseiwitsch, she has had as manyas five productions running at the same timein London, England .

Some of her more notable successes in-clude the Old Vie Company's 'Cyrano deBergerac,' `Peter Grimes,' at Covent Gar-den ; Terrence Rattigan's `Deep Blue Sea' ;Chekov's `Uncle Vanya' and Sheridan's `TheCritic' which the Old Vic took to NewYork; and sets and costumes for the Eng-lish Stratford's tour of Australia .

She has worked with Tyrone Guthriemany times before, both at the Old Vicand Stratford Memorial Theatre in Eng-land. Her latest production, completed justbefore leaving for Canada, was the OldVic's Coronation production of Henry VIII,directed by Tyrone Guthrie . The openingperformance was attended by Queen Eliza-beth and the Duke of Edinburgh . Betweenacts, the leading artists were presented tothe Queen who commented on the strikingcostumes .

CECIL CLARKEAssistant director of the Festival, came to

Canada immediately after completing sevenyears as Production Manager of the Old VicTheatre . He was active in forming thefamous Old Vic School, and acted as anAssistant Director for several years .

In spite of his apparant youth, he has had-nany years of experience in the theatre andhas become known as one of the top lightingexparts in European theatrical circles, hav-ing planned the lighting for shows inSwitzerland, Holland, as well at all av ~ his

native land .

Much of the success of the Festival mustbe attributed to his organizational genius .Arriving in Canada last January, he imme-diately set upon the task of contacting themany "little people" who are so necessaryto a successful operation . It was through hispersonality and understanding that so manyof the suppliers tools much more than acommercial interest in the Festival .Mr. Clarke has worked with Tyrone

Guthrie on many Old Vic productions andhas, as well as a great organization ability,a flair and imagination which admirablysuits him for his present position .

The opening of Richard III in Stratfordcelebrates the 100th major production withwhich Cecil Clarke has been connected .

ARCHITECTS

Rounthwaite & Fairfield, Toronto, are thearchitects of the Festival Theatre . The de-sign of the theatre is entirely original inso-far as no other like design exists in theworld today. It is rather a miracle ofinspiration in itself and was carefully exe-cuted after great thought and consultationbetween the architects and Mr. Cecil Clarke,Assistant Director. The architects co-ordin-ated all construction installations and pro-curements essential to the completed theatrealong with furnishings and equipment inaccordance with their drawings .

To the considerable credit of John GaffneyConstruction, Stratford, General Contractor,the entire work was completed in elevenweeks .
