Mask and Mimes

Hilary Pepler teaches mime at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Recently he produced two Sunday shows in London - "The Field is Won" at the Victoria Palace, and "The Hunting of the Snark" at the Little Theatre. He has been interested in mask and mime for many years. In America he produced his own version of St. Joan with eighty characters, and a political mime dealing with prohibition and kidnapping. His most notable success on the other side of the Atlantic, however, was a performance of "The Passion" by North American Indians in their national costume at Santa Fe.
