Redgrave Will Give Actor's Reflections At Lecture Series

Michael Redgrave, English actor and director, will deliver the Theodore Spencer Memorial Lecture on drama at 4:30 p.m. Sunday in Sanders Theatre.

Speaking on "Mask or Face: Reflections in an Actor's Mirror," he will be the first actor to appear in the lecture series, which began seven years ago.

Redgrave has appeared in plays and films in this country and in England. He has been a leading actor at the Old Vic and at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.

The director of "A Month in the Country," the Turgenev drama now in production in New York, he appeared in Giradoux's "Tiger at the Gates," which recently closed in New York.

At the University of Cambridge, Redgrave studied under I.A. Richards, now a University Professor here. The director-actor has lectured at Bristol University, where he gave a series on "The Actor's Ways and Means."

The Theodore Spencer Memorial Lecture series was founded in memory of Theodore Spencer, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, who was a poet and critic.
