Ladflfllb' MJC's tall production ot the Greek tragedy, Oedipus, was of high quality. Difficulties ot putting on such a play were numerous. The understandability ot this ancient play was amazing. Modernizing Oedipus, after gouging out his eyes, con- soles his two daughters, played by Carmen Adducci and Barb Adamski. Oedipus, played by Phillip Oswald, is shocked by the realization ot the evil deed he has committed. Guards Warren Sodt and Mike Ander re- strain shepherd Jim Schulz as he informs Oedipus of his fate. ,Q Z fp 4 4 Z i f, 4 the play added much to the clar- ity, plus making it more enjoy- able to the audience. The hard work of the actors and actresses and the student director was evi- dent in making this classic as great as it was centuries ago. The costuming, scenery, and acting ability all helped to make this an- other one ot MJC's fine drama productions.
