HTW to Present 'Troilus' as First Play This Year

Shakespeare's "Troilus and Cressida" will be the first college production to appear in the refurbished Brattle Theater. The Harvard Theater Workshop, ten of whose members jointly own the Brattle st. structure, has chosen this epic of the Trojan war for their initial play of 1948-49.

HTW official are at present searching for a "classic beauty" to portray Helen of Troy. Some thirty other speaking roles will be doled out at the casting sessions next Wednesday and Thursday. Rehearsal will begin a week from Monday.

This production of "Troilus and Cressida" will be experimental in character, with scenery and costuming planned along abstract lines. HTW is also eager to use the facilities of the first real theater in which they have ever played.

There will be a general meeting Monday to discuss the overall problems of production.
