To be or not to be itll-XQIIHE7 I The first senior play of 1955 set a high stan- dard with two sparkling versions of condensed Shakespearean plays, The Taming Of The Shrew and Hamlet. The casting, the maturity and depth of the plays themselves, and the challenge of making Shakespeare enjoyable to all ages served as in- centive to the seniors,and those in the audience can testify that they succeeded.

SHE E093 IEE 7. Servents, your master is back! 8. Hamlet the Dane! 6 U 16 SHE? IM Taming Of The Shrew , a fast farce, was led by John Wahl as the undaunted suitor of Joan Makler, a maiden violent in word and deed. The consequences of this cataclysmic courtship were presented with skill and enthusiasm. Hamlet , second in the program,is one of the theatre's most dif- ficult plays, Tony Shafton, in the title role, turned in a taut, polished portrayal of the indecisive Dane. Skillfully supported by Jacquie Fuerst as Ophelia and others in the cast, with an original accom- paniment played by a Parker quartet, the performance was an undis- puted triumph. Y Page Fifteen 8
