Subject: Stratford 2013
Coming out of Lurkdom again.
For those who are not Stratford members, but might like to start making summer
plans for 2013:
Measure for Measureto feature Carmen Grant, Stephen Ouimette, Tom Rooney,
Geraint Wyn Davies
Martha Henry's production of Measure for Measure will feature Carmen Grant as
Isabella, Stephen Ouimette as Lucio, Tom Rooney as Angelo, and Geraint Wyn
Davies as Duke Vincentio, with Randy Hughson as Pompey, Peter Hutt as Escalus
and Stephen Russell as Provost.
Carmen Grant made her Stratford debut in 2010, after completing her first year
at the Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre, where she played such
roles as Mrs. Higgins in Pygmalion, Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and
Goneril in King Lear. At the Festival she has appeared in Much Ado About
Nothing, The Matchmaker, Titus Andronicus and Richard III. She received a Dora
nomination for her portrayal of the title role in The Miracle Worker at YPT and
won the Rising Star Award for playing Ruth in the ATP production of Zadie’s
Shoes.
Stephen Ouimette recently gave an acclaimed performance as Harry Hope in The
Iceman Cometh at The Goodman Theatre in Chicago, with Nathan Lane and Brian
Dennehy. Mr. Ouimette and Mr. Dennehy had performed together at Stratford in
2011’s outstanding productions of The Homecoming and Twelfth Night. Mr. Ouimette
was also featured in the West End and Broadway productions of La Bete and is
well-known for his portrayal of Oliver Welles in the television series Slings
and Arrows. He has spent 18 seasons entertaining Stratford audiences with such
performances as Hysterium in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,
Canon Chasuble in The Importance of Being Earnest and Touchstone in As You Like
It. He has directed a number of productions, including Timon of Athens in 2004,
and has played the title roles in Hamlet, King John, Amadeus and Richard III, as
well as many other leading roles.
Tom Rooney will return for his sixth Stratford season, after delighting
audiences as Robert Service in the 2012 première of Wanderlust and as Ensign
Pistol in Henry V. Since joining the company in 2008, Mr. Rooney has fast become
a favourite on the Festival stage, with his richly drawn portrayals of Malvolio
in Twelfth Night and Master Ford in The Merry Wives of Windsor. He gave standout
performances in 2009 as the Porter in Macbeth, Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream
and Cassius in Julius Caesar. In addition to playing the Narrator in 2010's For
the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again, Mr. Rooney played Duke Frederick and Duke
Senior in As You Like It and Autolycus in The Winter’s Tale.
And for those of us who remember Scott Wentworth and his (Kermit's) fabulous
leather coat from the premier parties for "Do Not Go Gentle" and "Goodnight
Disgrace" (2005?):
Fiddler on the Roofto feature Kate Hennig and Scott Wentworth
Kate Hennig and Scott Wentworth will take the leading roles of Golde and Tevye
in Donna Feore's production of Fiddler on the Roof. Jacquelyn French has been
cast as Hodel, Keely Hutton as Chava, Gabrielle Jones as Yente, Andre Morin as
Motel, Mike Nadajewski as Perchik, Paul Nolan as Fyedka and Jennifer Stewart as
Tzeitel.
Kate Hennig, returning for her fourth season at Stratford, is well remembered
for playing the dance teacher, Mrs. Wilkinson, in Broadway's Billy Elliot: The
Musical, a role she also played in Toronto, winning a Dora Award for her
performance. Most recently she was seen as Emma Goldman in this season’s Shaw
Festival hit Ragtime, as well as in A Man and Some Women. She was also in the
wildly popular première of Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad, co-produced by the
Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Arts Centre. Ms Hennig was last in
the Stratford company in 1991, playing Mrs. Mullin in Carousel, Ursula in Much
Ado About Nothing and the Player Queen in Hamlet. She can currently be seen
playing Adele Witham in Bomb Girls on Global Television.
Scott Wentworth, who marks his 18th season in 2013, was last seen at Stratford
in 2008, playing Commander Fernán Gómez de Guzmán in Fuente Ovejuna and Claudius
in Hamlet. His musical credits at Stratford include playing Clifford Bradshaw in
the 1987 production of Cabaret and Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls in both 1990
and 2004 – a role he is currently reprising at the Segal Centre in Montreal. His
other Stratford credits include the title roles in Macbeth, Richard III, Henry
IV, Part 1 and The Merchant of Venice, Iago in Othello, David Cutrere in Orpheus
Descending and Theseus in Phèdre. Mr. Wentworth has also written a number of
musicals in collaboration with his wife, Marion Adler, including Enter the
Guardsman, which was nominated for an Olivier Award for best musical in 1997.
