The second is the lack-luster playing of the king and his companions (save Richard Waring's well-spoken Antonio), of whom Loring Smith's Alonzo and O. Z. Whitehead's Sebastian are embarrassingly inept. Still, the show is a striking success for William Ball in his directorial debut for the Festival...

From Thales (circa 624-546 B.C.), about whom little is known, to Whitehead and Wittgenstein, both of whom the author knew well, Russell tells something of the life as well as the ideas of the hundred-odd philosophers who have helped to make the mind of the West.
