Endecott-played by Kenneth Haigh with the weary administrative sanity of Shaw's Caesar-is aware of the mourn ful carnage of retribution and revenge, and initially is reluctant to take any brutal measures against the colony. But then a clerical emissary from England arrives to announce that King Charles I intends to revoke the charter of the Massachusetts Colony and place it under the direct rule of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Morton taunts Endecott with this promise of lost authority, and suddenly the Governor becomes as steely as his armor. Delivering a flaming polemic against the King...
...complex plot defies easy unraveling even in Eric Bentley's swift and supple version. In a historical pageant held 20 years before the action of the play begins in 1922, an Italian noble man (Kenneth Haigh) had his horse tripped by a rival for his mistress' favors. After the fall he went mad, imagining himself to be the character he had been impersonating in the pageant, the 11th century Emperor Henry IV of Germany.

Near by, Joseph Haigh and his wife took the sun beside their Dodge camper, a 27-ft.-long bus that, when fully equipped with stainless-steel galley, stall shower, toilet and bunks for six, can cost more than $16,000. "We're land cruisers now," says Haigh, who gave up a lifetime of boating after...
