Tibor Feheregyhazi

Tibor Feheregyhazi, 75 Young actor fresh from the Budapest uprising of 1956 sailed for Canada to become a behind-the-scenes powerhouse in Winnipeg, Thunder Bay and Saskatoon F. F. LANGAN Special to The Globe and Mail July 25, 2007 at 8:50 AM EDT NOWLTON, QUE. — Hungarian actor Tibor Feheregyhazi's accent kept him off the stage in Canada, but his production skills put him at the forefront of one of the most vigorous and determined theatre companies in the country. A refugee from the street fighting in the 1956 Hungarian revolution, he spent 25 years reviving and rebuilding Saskatoon's Persephone Theatre. "He was dynamic and seemed to take people over.

summer reading

Ian McEwan's On Chesil Beach is a writing of precision and restraint. A period piece carefully recorded by a contemporary historian of the heart. Concentrated in purpose the story explicates the emotional territory of a particular yet universal moment: "They were young, educated, and both virgins on this, their wedding night, and they lived in a time when a conversation about sexual difficulties was plainly impossible." The pace is paradoxically pedestrian and relentless allowing the elegiac ending to leave traces of light regret and melancholy. Somehow the book disappoints. Lacking any verve or daring the final insight, though simple and true, renders unimaginative. Tim Adams , Colm Tóibín reviews - See: Novel
