“Отелло” У. Шекспира на армянской сцене «Ай Бем» в Монреале

Abstract

In 1976 Perch Fazlian, a famous actor, producer and a theatre critic, founded the Armenian Theatre Company “Hay Bem” (Armenian stage) in Tekeyan Cultural Association in Montreal. The company performed Shakespeare’s “Othello” in 1984 in Canada for the first time in Armenian. The play had a great success with both Armenian and foreign audiences. The professional acting of Perch Fazlian and the amateur actors was well received by critics. The invitations the company received from Armenian-populated cities in Canada and the USA show the great success the performance had.
