Stone Will Direct HTG's New Play

Harold Stone '53 will direct the Harvard Theatre Group's Fall production. "The Trojan War Not Take Place," manger David Bowen '51 announced last night.

The play was written by Jean Giraudoux, author of "Amphitryon 38," and the recent Broadway success, "The Madwomen of Chaillot." Prior to the Cambridge opening, the group plans to take the "War" on the road, with a Wellesley opening scheduled for November 29.

It will open in Cambridge Friday, December 1 and will be performed in the Fogg Museum courtyard. The courtyard was chosen by the group as a novel setting for its new production after an investigation of available facilities.

The anti-war satire was written in 1935 and is still being produced in France by Louis Jouvet. H.T.G. is revising an adaptation of the play which was first presented in California by Jean Giraudoux, Jr. Giraudoux is expected in Cambridge within the next few weeks to assist in the production.
