Badel, Alan

Badel, Alan (1923–82),
British actor. A player of great flair, he appeared in 1950 at Stratford-upon-Avon as Claudio in Measure for Measure and as Lear's Fool. He vividly proved his versatility the next season as Ariel and as a doddering Justice Shallow. At the Old Vic he was Romeo to Claire Bloom's Juliet. He returned to Stratford in 1956 to play Berowne, Lucio in Measure for Measure, and a mercurial Hamlet. In 1970 he acted Othello at Oxford.
