Anthony Grey talks about his father hiring actors from England, how his father did not discourage actors using their own accents, and how the Earle Grey Players started a ripple effect on the various Shakespeare companies and plays that were mounted in Canadian theatre. Grey talks about Provost Sealey and how Sealey was one of the few religious figures to have an interest in theatre and the arts in general. Part 4 of 7.

Anthony Grey is the son of Earle Grey and Mary Godwin, founders of the Earle Grey Shakespeare Festival--the first Canadian Shakespeare Festival. The summer Shakespeare productions were first performed at the University of Toronto in 1949 before performances ended after 1958.
