	Rex Features
		REX was founded in 1954 by Frank and Elizabeth Selby.
		Elizabeth had been helping her father to "package" his feature articles, using the name Rex Features, and when she and Frank married they merged their respective skills in features packaging and sales to begin trading in photo features.
		REX, already successful and respected, raised its profile dramatically in 1981, with the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981.

	A CurtainUp Review, Elizabeth Rex
		Elizabeth Rex is a new play, one of far too few offered by the Stratford Festival.
		Once the beloved favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, Essex has been convicted of treason for his role in an uprising against her, and the Queen has summoned Shakespeare and his company, The Lord Chamberlain's Men, to ease her grief by performing a comedy, Much Ado About Nothing, on the day before he is to die.
		Elizabeth Rex (under Martha Henry's focussed direction and set on Allan Wilbee's functional stable) stands as a testament to Findlay's strength as playwright, historian and psychologist.

		In Elizabeth Rex, the winner of this year’s Governor General’s Award for Drama, Timothy Findley returns with his usual intertextual flare to a period of theatrical history which has consistently held western audiences, critics—and writers in its thrall—Elizabethan England.
		He is not at all impressed by her masculine will-to-power which enables her to order the execution of her own beloved and prevents her from acting on emotions he would define as feminine, in particular love and forgiveness.
		Elizabeth, by contrast, is doing both rather badly, as her performance of masculinity is cold, heartless and cruel and her femininity nearly dead.

	e.Peak (15/10/2001) arts: theatre: Elizabeth Rex allows for artistic expression
		Elizabeth Rex, the artistic brainchild of Timothy Findley, is a show set in early 17th Century Stratford upon Avon.
		Beautifully written, Elizabeth Rex captures historical moments in a way which is relevant to modern audiences.
		The scene takes place in the barn, where Ned (played by David Marr) reveals to his fellow thespians that he is dying of the "pox." Soon after the Queen enters, she states that she is impressed by Ned's performance of Beatrice for Ned is infamous for playing women, as were many boys during Elizabethan times.

		Elizabeth Rex is a beautifully constructed and well-written play about what might have happened.
		Knowing that she has condemned her one time beloved to death for treason and unable to face the agony of the long night alone, Queen Elizabeth seeks distraction and solace in the company of actors who have been sequestered in a barn in the royal yards.
		Elizabeth's ladies, the aged Countess of Henslowe (Esme Lambert) and young Lady Stanley (Lara Rose Tansey) are supportive and unobtrusive.

		Elizabeth Rex, which opened last week at the Stratford Festival of Ontario's Tom Patterson Theater under Martha Henry's direction, is a rare bird at this venue: a new play.
		Rex is most alive when Elizabeth and Ned are sparring, and it suffers when the odd couple disappear.
		Finally, Elizabeth mourns the death of her faithless lover as a woman, and Ned accepts his fate as a man. It is a moment of peerless clarity, one that can happen only, as playwright Findley has again shown us, on the stage.

	The Guardian - Elizabeth Rex Review
		Occupying a curious theatrical hinterland somewhere between a Robert Bolt historical epic and a Peter Shaffer psychodrama, this play, set in the court of Elizabeth the night before the execution of her beloved Earl of Essex, is old-fashioned, middle-brow entertainment.
		He imagines the Queen joining the troupe after the performance, so setting up a confrontation between Elizabeth, the woman who has steeled herself to act like a man by condemning to death the man she loves, and Ned Lowenscroft, an actor dying of the pox, who has spent all his life playing women.
		Findlay makes great play on the idea of acting as we see Elizabeth remove her wig and make-up and start to reveal her real self and Ned let drop the layers of rage and cynicism that he has used to protect himself from grief and fear.

		The scene is a barn in England in 1601, and Queen Elizabeth seeks diversion from the impending beheading of her lover in the company of William Shakespeare and his band of actors.
		But the driving force for the drama is the point/counterpoint exchanges between "King" Elizabeth, who feels compelled to shirk her womanly feelings for the good of her country and the actor Ned, a 17th century drag-Queen.
		In 1601, Queen Elizabeth I was forced by duty to condemn to death a man widely believed to be her former lover.

	Shakespeare’s Wo(men) : Monterey County Weekly Newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Timothy Findley, author of the rich, superb Elizabeth Rex, which plays at the Golden Bough this month, was curious about the older men who must have played Shakespeare’s female characters of depth and maturity—the Cleopatras, Lady Macbeths, and Mad Margarets.
		While contemplating this contradiction in genders, Findley was reminded that Elizabeth often referred to herself as a “Prince of Europe,” declaring that to rule England she was called upon to be more a man than a woman.
		This fact does not please Elizabeth and, as a result, she draws Shakespeare into the fray by outing him and his romantic crush on the Earl of Southampton, whom she has locked in the Tower for his complicity in Essex’s uprising.

	Elizabeth Rex
		Part homage to the Bard, part examination of complexities surrounding the character of Elizabeth I and her star-crossed relationship with the Earl of Essex, this magnificent production, superbly directed by Robert Mammana, begins with the ruminations of William Shakespeare on the eve of his death in 1616 and the plaintive song of a long-dead actor.
		In a tour-de-force performance, Karesa McElheny embodies the regal bearing and inner conflicts of Elizabeth as she summons Shakespeare's actors to perform a comedy to distract her and assuage her grief.
		Like two duelists, Elizabeth and a dying gay actor, Ned Lowenscroft, portrayed with panache and expert timing by David H. Ferguson, fence and parry throughout the night as they spar over loves found and lost, sexuality, personal betrayal, and the role-playing of queens and actors.

	Elizabeth
		Elizabeth Tudor -- or Elizabeth Rex, as she is portrayed in her official portraits -- is so stately as to appear not just solemn, but grave.
		Yet, as memorably portrayed by Cate Blanchett in Shekhar Kapur's 1998 Elizabeth, she is no longer merely a character study of cold power.
		Instead, the extraordinary circumstances around her youthful years -- those events that tempered her at an early age -- are the catalyst of this celluloid interpretation.

		That other barn was an appendage to the royal castle where Queen Elizabeth I had retreated to await news of the execution of her one-time lover, Essex, for treason against her crown.
		Unable to return to London after the performance, the players are housed in the castle's barn, where Elizabeth joins them, desperate to be distracted from the bells that toll away the final hours of her lover's life.
		Though D'Aquila lacks both the years and the ferociousness to be as fully dangerous as the part demands, she tackles it with courage and spirit, and is buoyed to the surface as much by that spirit as by Hutt's quiet strength and Carver's quicksilver genius.

	Playbill News: Shakespeare and Elizabeth Meet in "Elizabeth Rex," Airing on CBC-TV Sept. 25 and Oct. 2; Brent Carver ...
		"Elizabeth Rex," the film about a meeting of Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth I, based on the play by late Canadian playwright Timothy Findley, will air 8 PM (ET) Sept. 25 on CBC-TV in Ontario, and elsewhere in Canada 8 PM Oct. 2.
		The drama about the 1601 aftermath of the Earl of Essex's unsuccessful revolt against Queen Elizabeth I is right up Stratford's alley: The company's foundation, since its beginning in 1952, is the work of Shakespeare, the chief poet of the Elizabethan reign.
		In addition to Governor-General's Awards for "The Wars" and Elizabeth Rex, Findley was the winner of the Canadian Authors Association Award, the Ontario Trillium Award, and the ACTRA Award (with his longtime partner William Whitehead).

	Aisle Say (Ontario): Stratford Festival ("Medea" & "Elizabeth Rex")
		Two plays dealing with women of strength and resolute power are among the productions at this year's Stratford Festival: Medea, the tragedy by Euripides in the Robinson Jeffers' translation, and Elizabeth Rex, a new play by novelist-playwright Timothy Findley, with the assistance of fellow-Canadian Paul Thompson.
		It is the evening of Shakespeare's death and he recalls a meeting between Elizabeth I and Ned Lowenscroft, a portrayer of Shakespearean women.(The character of Lowenscroft is Findley's creation.) It is 1601 and the play spans a night during which Essex, the queen's lover, is to be executed.
		And maybe, too, Findley's consuming fascination with Shakespeare has helped him to create a character whose life is no less worthy because he responds in ways far closer to humans that we know and meet in our own lives.

	Elizabeth Rex
		On the surface, Timothy Findley's "Elizabeth Rex" follows in the footsteps of the Bette Davis-Errol Flynn Warner Bros. flick of 1939.
		Instead, the play turns out to be a compassionate look at consequences and complexities of unrealized sexual identity that modern audiences can relate to, set in a dynamic historical context of bawdy behavior and flowery speech and enhanced by performances that find their own individual hooks into character and motivation.
		Originally staged at Canada's Stratford Festival in 2000, one could imagine "Elizabeth Rex" in the hands of a company with more resources, but Findley has written his play so well and affectionately that it adapts itself to whatever circumstances are at hand.
