Barry Morse, who is regarded as Canada's leading actor, gave a sparklingly burnished performance as Jack TannerDon Juan, and Rosemary Harris was his delightful pursuer and ensnarer. Kilty was fine in the double role of the brigand Mendoza and the Devil. His production constituted the high point of the Weslesley season, as it had two years previously...
...Athan Karras, a native Greek with considerable experience in his country's great classics. He presented a movingly stylized and austere show, using Gilbert Murray's not too satisfactory translation (Yeats' is no better; there is still need for a truly actable translation).

Working behind a team of plasterers who spread a quarter inch of white stucco over the black wall, Nivola first outlined his figures in paint with a thin brush. Then he and his son filled in the outline with solid blues, yellows and orange. Finally Nivola scratched deep lines through the colors and plaster to the black wall...
