...again. Obviously it ran into troubles. The program credits the "original production concept" to Don Driver, who started out as the director. The staging was later taken over by Joseph Anthony. During rehearsals, the production ran through two actors for the main role of Petruchio before settling on John Cunningham (who I'm sure is the best suited of the three...
...John Cunningham gets about as much out of this role as there is in it. He comes on looking like something from a dentifrice advertisement and breezes through the part with unflagging brio, brilliance and briskness. As Kate, Ruby Dee enters appropriately in a flaming red gown and black hat with red panache, and proceeds to convey something of a hip-swinging tigress...

Cunningham's idea of his job, and he rose to his feet and said so. Smilingly, he reminded everyone that the nation's third largest variety chain (after F.W. Woolworth and W.T. Grant) has expanded far beyond its old dime-store stage and is, in fact, quite a different creature. This...
