aA the examiner Friday August 31 1979 King Lear role Ustinov dream MONTREAL CP The event which inspired veteran actor and writer Peter Ustinov to consider playing in Canadas Stratford Festival actually took place in Leningrad while he was making television pro gram While there he discovered Russian company was producing his play Halfway Up the Tree except being bigger country they called it Halfway Up the Moun tain Naturally had to see it and there it was play that had been rather poohpoohed in New York being per formed beautifully by people who didnt have the benefit of my advice he said during visit here this week It actually impelled me to find some way in which could submit myself to the kind of discipline those poeple had the kind of discipline knew Id find at Stratford where mature actors voluntarily go back to be dramatic students wanted to find the kind of integity knew existed before the erosion of the commercial theatre took over and began to work on me before noticed it the rotund actor said Now he is preparing for the leading role in King Lear scheduled to open Oct in Stratford The idea pleases him not only because this is role he has wanted to play ever since he was youngster KNOWS LEAR You see feel know what Lears all about he said couldnt do it without haVe that degree of vanity about it In fact wrote play about Lear myself The Moment of Truth It was play about Marshall Petain and Pierre Laval in which Petain was kind of extension of Lear he said referring to the Nazi collaborators who ruled France during the Second World War Although the 58yearold Ustinov has acted in more than 25 films has performed in innumerable stage radio and television dramas and Peter Ustinov the search for integrity has done Shakespeare for broadcast he has never appeared on stage in Shaksperean play One thing Ive noticed he said when youre ac tually doing play by Shakespeare you find out so much more than when youre just reading it Ustinov explained he feels Lear is play about hier archy Its play about protocol And about how Lear discovers with im mense pain that were all naked people just dressed differently if you know what Imean mean if you put the clothes on different man hes immediately respected and the naked one is thrown out He acknowledged there have been offers to take the pla to London or New York Im not at all sure could play it eight times week my age Thats why Id much rather do it in Stratford moderately with long period of rehearsal to le myself into it and see what feel The multitalented Ustinovs most recent publication is an essay in new book titled What Kind World Are We Leaving For Our Children published by UNESCO to mark the Inter national Year of the Child Televisions hottest comic explores another dimension HOLLYWOOD AP Mork Is floating in space No big thing for guy who flew in from Ork in an eggshaped spaceship In the flip of switch he is suddenly perched on the arm of sofa like tabby cat Robin Williams who pla Mork folds his arms behin his head leans back and innocently and lets the others worry about his shrinking size In the ial that will open the sec season of TVs Mork and Mindy on ABC Mark is off In another dimension with the aid of course of little electronic wizardry Robin Williams is also off in another dimension Hes the hottest comedian on television His inteme energy face as versatile as Mr Potatohead and wild and unpredictable comedy style has turned an or dinary situation comedy into media event And not since Laughln has any show so en riched the language with new words and hrases Nanu nanu shazbata nimnull He brings to Mork gallery voices and sound effects and ROBIN WILLIAMS wild unpredictable battery of non sequiturs that suddenly activate the funny bone Williams frequently slips away to perform unannounced at such places as the Comedy Store in Hollywood He says You have to change your com edy for your own sanity When people become familiar with your comedy it loses its life It becomes very mechanical like to work out new rou tines and improvise with friends My friends are bizarre they make me look normal It keeps you recharged and in contact with people Here at the show the audience laughs if you just walk on stage Williams and comedian Steve Martin have also helped spear head what Williams calls an ethnic smorgasbord of comedy Until recently most comedians came from ethnic backgrounds principally Jewish or Catholic Both Robin and Martin were raised in upper middle class Protestant homes He says he had no boyhood traumas to provide fodder for his act My boyhood was rather pleasant he says WON SCHOLARSHIP Williams 27 was raised in Detroit and Chicago and at private schools with tight discipline until his senior year Then he moved with his family to San
