Eliot Drama Group To Ask Permission For Restaging Play

Members of the Eliot Drama Group will confer with Dean Watson today to discuss the feasibility of reviving Richard II for a two-day run during Commencement Week.

The Shakespearian play was originally produced over a year ago--in February, 1956--in the Eliot House dining hall for a week's run. At that time it met with both critical and popular acclaim.

"We still have the original sets and costumes," Glenn J. Goldburg '57, the play's director, said last night. Most members of the original cast are also in Cambridge, he added, and have expressed their willingness to participate in the revival.

Two problems which will have to be worked out with Dean Watson today concern the dates and the place for the revival. Barring conflicts, Goldburg said he would like to put on the play in Sanders Theatre on the nights of June 9 and 10--Sunday and Monday of that week.
