WIT, CHARM AND FANTASY AT THE HALL
“NEW CLOTHES FOR THE EMPEROR”
St Michael’s Players triumph
There is more in the famous Hans Anderson tale “New Clothes for the Emperor” than meets the eye. It has a deep significance which finds its parallel in modern life.
St Michael’s Players, when they gave their first night performance of Nicholas Stuart Gray’s version of the story in The Hall, Lowergate, on Wednesday, made no reference to the symbolic side of the plot. They contented themselves with giving a fast-moving show with plenty of action.
Not really a play, hardly a pantomime, it combined certain elements of both. The staging of the piece called for pantomime techniques, as there were five different scenes.
Backcloths were used which, if not completely convincing were certainly adequate.
Unlike a pantomime, however, there was no singing or dancing, and most of the dialogue was in prose.
A mediaeval nation labouring under the power of a magic spell which instills stupidity into the whole populance is disrupted by the sudden arrival of two rascally foreigners, who, working on the stupidity of the people make the Emperor a suit of invisible clothing in which he appears before his subjects.
Mr Gray has woven a fantasy around this basic plot, which gives many opportunities for comedy. These were utilised to the full.
The two foreigners, Piers and Perkin, were admirably played by John Byrne and Tom Cowman. Fine gestures of bravado were turned into fawning servility with cool assurance, and both men gave an authentic interpretation of these two similar roles.
BEST PERFORMANCE
The success of the piece owed much to Edward Worswick, who, although only playing two secondary roles, gave the best performance of the evening. As the soldier Tom Piggott he was completely natural and convincing, while his cameo as the leering jailer had a macabre yet comic quality which reminded one of Quasimodo.
John Cowman, who produced the play, also impressed as Belvedere, the gentle genie, and showed a fine flair for the exotic drama needed in this role, coupling it with a confused humour which was equally acceptable.
Less success was attained by the members of the royal household, with the exception of Pat Hargreaves as the witch, Auntie Garlyck, whose astuteness was a perfect foil for the other characters. She spoke clearly and moved well.
Julie Halliwell played Malkyn, had plenty of vitality and looked very charming, Michael O’Hagan’s diction was good, and John Turner was good when he was speaking.
Ignatius Calvert made a delightfully vague and amusing Lord Chancellor. His facial expressions and general mien were extremely believable. Peter Geldard was suitably raucous as Earl Marshall Emery. Christopher Wilson played Otto, a soldier.
MANY DIFFICULTIES
John Cowman explained that staging the piece had presented many difficulties, and while a few of these had not been entirely ironed out, the production did him great credit. He showed imagination and ingenuity, coupled with a flair for bringing out the comic aspects of the plot.
Backstage were Patrick Fullalove, Anthony Thornber, Christopher Crompton, John Gidlow.
Properties were in the charge of Miss Celia Speak, Mrs W. Fehrenbach, Miss Winifred Hargreaves. Business manager was Harvey Sutcliffe.
The play was repeated last night and will also be given tonight and tomorrow.
