H.T.G. to Produce Kingsley Drama; Bowen Has Lead

Harvard Theatre Group will stage a Broadway play next month, simultaneously with the current New York run. The play, "Darkness at Noon," by Sidney Kingsley, will star David Bowen '51, founder of the H.T.G.

The H.T.G. production in Sanders Theatre on April 25, 26, 27, and 28, will mark the first full scale production that the organization has undertaken since it was formed one year ago.

Arrangements for the amateur production were made with the Playwrights Producing Company, of which Kingsley is a member. The play was originally scheduled for a Boston engagement before the New York premiere.

The play is concerned with the gradual disillusionment and final disintegration of an imprisoned communist's once-powerful belief in the party. It is adapted from the novel by Arthur Koestler.
