SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1937. Volume 8. Number 10.

[introduction]

On Friday the Dramatic Club had a capacity house for its second performance of the year. Clifford Odet's play. "Till the Day I Die." The high standard set in previous shows was fully maintained. Owing to restricted space and lack of facilities, the production was confronted with serious technical difficulties, which, however, were overcome in a way entirely satisfactory to the appreciative audience.

The play is the story of a Communist worker cought in the toils "of the secret police. Physically wrecked and mentally exhausted, he can only find rest by taking his own life. "I know that till the day I die there is no peace for an honest worker in the whole world." No division is allowed in the modern totalitarian state, the anti-Nazi must reform or perish. Individualism can find no place.
