AMERICAN SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL, Stratford, Conn, (through Sept. 14). The comedy Much Ado About Nothing is directed by London's Peter Gill in his American debut; Henry V has Len Cariou in the title role; while Hamlet is a stunning full-length version with Brian Bedford as the prince, Maria Tucci as Ophelia and Morris Carnovsky as Polonius. For variety, Chekhov makes a premier appearance at this festival in a supple staging of The Three Sisters...
GREAT LAKES SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL, Lakewood Civic Auditorium, Lakewood, Ohio.

She dined early at Giggi Fazi with Romano Mussolini (one of Benito's sons) and his wife Maria (Sophia Loren's sister), then put on a show at the Teatro Sistina that nearly brought the palazzo down. Dressed in a simple blouse and skirt, Ella warbled her standards: Mack the Knife, Mister Paganini, A Man And A Woman, then answered two tumultuous curtain calls with a rendition...
...Marcia Haydee, 29, a dancer of stunning technique with the rare ability to turn the simplest body movement into a full statement. Touchingly simple as the lovelorn Russian girl who draws strength from rejection, deliciously rambunctious as Shakespeare's ultimately tamed volcano, Haydee is to the dance what Maria Callas has been to opera. She is an artist incapable of a dull or empty gesture, able to communicate a state of mind through an impressive range of movement or even by standing still.
