Adams Drama to Cast

The Adams House Drama Society will present Sophocles' Philoctetes this April "both as an interpretation of Sophocles and as a play aimed at a modern audience," Robert M. Torrance '61, said yesterday. Torrance is writing a new translation for the production.

The cast will participate somewhat in the interpretation of the play, and Raphael Crystal '61, is writing music for the chorus. Casting will begin on Monday in the Loeb Conference Room.

The Adams group will also present Ibsen's Peer Gynt in the Loeb Theatre this spring, and the Classics Club is producing Sophocles' Ajax there as well. Since both productions might rival Philoctetes for actors and audiences, observers are therefore watching its success or failure to see how the Loeb affects House drama.
