theatre memories

In 1988 I taught Lorca's Le Casa de Bernarda Alba to Iraqi undergraduates, and I showed them stills from the Spanish staging of the play with Nuria Espert playing Bernarda, presented in London as part of the international theatre festival, originated by a handicapped Englishman of the theatre, and which was held every 3rd year of the decade at the Aldwych Theatre, London. I wonder if the tradition is ongoing still. In 1973 I saw Ingmar Bergman's Swedish-language staging of Ibsen's The Wild Duck. The contrast between the entire setting painted in caledonia green and the father's mistress dressed in crimson red was too obvious about nature vs nurture. There is a couple of memorable scenes I have seen in stills and read about in notes and performances reviews, and these are of the actress playing the grandmother Maria Jusippa in that Nuria Espert production of Bernarda Alba and the other of Laurence Olivier doing the Captain's dance in Strindberg's The Dance of Death
