In July the Festival of Dramatic Art was held for the fifth time in the Papal Palace of Avignon under the artistic direction of Jean Vilar. In a critical survey, illustrated by recordings, Christopher Sykes reports on the three plays performed this year. Gerard Philipe, a leading French actor of the younger generation, will be heard as the Prince of Hombourg in Kleist's play of that name and in the leading part in Corneille's tragedy Le Cid. In recordings of the latter, Jean Vilar wilt be heard as Don Fernando and Francoise Spira as Chimene, a part in which she has appeared in thr:e successive Avignon festivals.
