Drama Club Presents "Hippolytus"

Drama Club Presents "Hippolytus"

Time: Friday, July 1; Saturdays July 2, 8 p.m.

Place: Little Theatre.

The Drama Club, in conjunction with the Classical Association, are presenting an acted muling of the Hippolytus of Euripides.

The producer, Mr. Peter Dronke. told "Salient": "I think that among the Greek tragedies "Hippolytus" is one of those with the greatest human and dramatic interest today. Fortunately the translation we are using brings this out: it is vigorous and modern, free from 19th century idiom. We have also been fortunate in having Mr. David Farquhar, of the Music Department, to write us music bailed on extant Greek tunes, and Mrs. Kalfas, of the Classics Department, helping us towards authentic Greek costumes."

The cast includes: Tim Eliot (Hippolytus), Elizabeth Gordon (Phaedra), Duicie Gillesple-Needham (the Nurse), and Bruce Hillyard (Theseus).
