Ham For Sale

On July 15 the Drama Club will present a grand premiere performance in the Little Theatre of two one-act plays. This one-net play evening will provide some of the most hilarious entertainment ever to be staged in the College. On that auspicious occasion the two plays to be produced are "The Wedding," by Tchekov, nnd "A Phoenix Too Frequent." by Christopher Fry.

"The Wedding" is a farcical comedy and its characters spring straight from the gilt-framed portrait of our Victorian ancestors—aspidistras and all. When Nastasya Timofeyevna arranges for a "general" to be present at the nuptial feast of her daughter, in order to lend tone to the proceedings, the result is catostrophic hilarity.

"A Phoenix Too Frequent" is a highly satirical comedy, set suitably in post-war ancient Ephcsus. Set in a tomb it contains a delicious mixture consisting of a spot of philosophy, a dash of death, all subttly toned into a background of mourning and love; the whole refuting Marvell's famous lines:

"The grave's a fine and private place,

But none, I think, do there embrace."

We recommend this entertainment to you.
