REVIVING "THE SEAGULL"

The Mail

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

May I make use of your columns to call for a revival of the Loeb Drama Center production of The Seagull--as soon as possible, and in any case before the cast becomes dispersed beyond recall? I do this on behalf of the whole University, and all those who--through oversight, or an insufficient incentive to go--missed what may well prove a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I myself only went on the last night of the run, and then without any idea of how memorable and moving the performance would prove to be. Though there was a problem of inaudibility for those far back in the theater, and the lighting was rather dim in Act I, the use of Stark Young's translation and quality of acting and direction made this an extraordinary theatrical event... Personally I would like to see it a second time, and perhaps a third. Mark Roskill   Assistant Professor   Department of Fine Arts
