The Vancouver Playhouse
production of North Van-
couver resident Dennis
Foon’s THE HUNCHBACK
OF NOTRE DAME has its
world premiere at the Q.E.
Playhouse on Saturday,
November 21 at 8:00 p.m.
The play is based on Victor
Hugo’s classic novel, “Notre
Dame de Paris” .

Hugo is acknowledged as
one of the world’s finest
romantic novelists. Born in
France in 1802, he was first
recognized as a poct, and
had established a reputation
as such by the time he was
cighteen years old. “Notre
Dame de Paris” was publish-
ed in 1831, and the story of
the deformed Quasimodo’s
love for the gypsy
Esmerelda, set in fifteenth
century Paris, captured the
public's attention  im-
mediately. Along with “Les
Miserables”, “Notre Dame
de Paris” is
Hugo's finest and most en-
during work. As playwright
Dennis Foon says,

“Everybody loves somebody _

they can't have.” THE HUN-
CHBACK OF NOTRE
DAME maintains § the
melodramatic thrills of the
original novel.

Artistic Director of Van-
couver’s Green Thumb
Theatre for Young People,
an internationally acclaimed
company, Mr. Foon's plays
include “The Windigo”
(which is being produced
this year at the Neptune
Theatre in Halifax and the
Citadel Theatre in Edmon-
ton), and “New Canadian
Kids”, which has been in-
vited to the Newham Inter-
national Pestival in London,
England. Mr .Foon is also the
Vice President of the Inter-
national Association of
Theatre for Young P. .

THE HUNCHBA OF
NOTRE DAME is directed

considered |

by Playhouse Artistic Direc-
tor, Roger Hodgman, who'
suggested that Mr. Foon
adapt “Notre Dame de Paris”
for the stage. Born in
Tasmania, Mr. Hodgeman
worked as a television and
theatre director in Australia.
He has been Artistic Direc-
tor of the Playhouse for two
years, and this spring he
dircted ‘“‘The Dutch
Courtesan” for the National
Theatre School in Montreal.

The hunchback,
Quasimodo, is played by
Henry Woolf. In over twenty
years as a performer, Mr.
