Acting in Canada: Frances Hyland, Kate Reid, Martha Henry and the Stratford Festival's 1965 The Cherry Orchard
Abstract
During the twenty years after World War II, the conditions in the Canadian theatre changed to such a dramatic degree that at last it became possible for an acting community of some magnitude to be created and maintained. The training and early theatrical experiences of three of Canada's most distinguished actors--Frances Hyland, Kate Reid, and Martha Henry--are emblematic of the opportunities available to Canadian actors at the time. This article traces their early careers and considers the single production in which all three appeared together: The Cherry Orchard, directed by John Hirsch at the Stratford Festival in 1965. Pendant les vingt ans qui suivent la deuxième guerre mondiale, le théâtre au Canada a subi une transformation majeure, au point où il devenait possible de créer et de soutenir une communauté d'acteurs/trices professionnels/elles. La formation et les premières éxperiences théâtrales de trois actrices canadiennes distinguées--Frances Hyland, Kate Reid, et Martha Henry--sont caractéristiques de possibilités disponsibles aux acteurs/trices canadiens/ennes à cette époque. Cet article s'occupe des carrières de ces actrices, et examine la seule pièce où tous les trois ont joué ensemble, The Cherry Orchard, mise en scène par John Hirsch au Stratford Festival en 1965.Downloads
