William Hutt
Shakespearean Festival

 

 

Canada's most popular classical actor, William Ian DeWitt Hutt,

thrilled audiences with superb performances in Hamlet, Macbeth,

Richard II, King Lear and numerous other Shakespearean plays.

 

In his early teens, Hutt proclaimed himself an 'Oscar Wilde.'

 

At the outbreak of World War II, he enlisted and served 4 1/2 years

as a medical corpsman with the 5th Canadian Armored Division.

After the war he continued his education, entering the field of acting.

Hutt acquired a loyal following, and his fellow comrades, the men

of the 5th Canadian Armored Division were his greatest fans.
