Nicol Williamson (14 September 1936 ? 16 December 2011) was a British actor[1] once described by English playwright John Osborne as ""the greatest actor since Marlon Brando"". He was also described by playwright Samuel Beckett as ""touched by genius"" and viewed by many critics as ""the Hamlet of his generation"" during the late 1960s.
Arlo Davy Guthrie (born July 10, 1947) is an American folk singer.[1] Like his late father, Woody Guthrie, Arlo is known for singing songs of protest against social injustice. Guthrie's best-known work is ""Alice's Restaurant Massacree"", a satirical talking blues song about 18 minutes in length.
An unidentified speaker at the St. Patricks Day lunch at the Ontario Variety Club talks about Irelands contribution to the world, which he calls the heritage of the spoken word. He references Irish writers Samuel Beckett and Oliver Goldsmith and alludes to the Troubles. He mentions he is from Bantry.

Judith Jasmin talks with Eugene Ionesco, the Romanian playwright who has made France his adopted country, shortly before the casting of his play "The King is dying." He talks about his childhood, his studies and the kind of theater that he prefers in his youth; his need for solitude, the absurdity of the world, the lack of communication between people, his plays and the public's reactions toward them, his resistance to Nazism during the war, his views on the intellectuals Jean-Paul Sartre, Samuel Beckett; travel and the City of New York.
