by Christopher Sykes
Read by Ward Williams
In July the Festival of Dramatic Art was held for the fifth time in the Papal Palace of Avignon under the artistic direction af 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 recordmgs of the latter, Jean Vilar will be heard as Don Fernando and Francoisc Spira as Chimcne, a part in which she has appeared in three successive Avignon festivals.
