Under the direc- tion of the Rev. Elric Warwick, O.F.M., instructor in speech and drama, the production was presented November 5 through November 9 in the Quincy College Theatre — Intime. Basically a romantic comedy, the plot centers around a shipwreck which occurs upon the shores of an enchanted isle that is ruled by an exiled Duke. Dramatic and hu- morous complications set in when it becomes apparent that the shipwrecked crew included the Duke ' s enemy and his son. Dancing and an original musical score composed by Paul SafTran, Quincy College student, highlighted the play. Final scene ot play as hero. Prospcro, prepares to leave. 112

Preparing to build the set for the second drama production of the year are Mr. Hugh Fitz- gerald, Father Elric Warwick, O.F.M., and Father Thomas Brown, O.F.M. Murder in the Cathedral . . . The Fine Arts Department of Quincy College pre- sented T. S. Eliot ' s Murder in the Cathedral in the college Theatre Intime Feb. 25 through Feb. 28. Poet Laureate Eliot ' s play is a searching examina- tion into one of Christian history ' s most sacrilegious murders — the martyrdom of Archbishop Thomas Becket in his cathedral on Dec. 29, 1170. It is a mys- tery but not in the twentieth century mode: a man is murdered and the criminals are known — only the reason forms the play ' s argument. Eliot bor- rowed the direct theatricality of Shakespeare and the Greeks in composing his modern classic. This in- cludes the use of the Grecian chorus to aid the tale in its telling. This production of the famous Canterbury Festi- val play was directed by Mr. Hugh Fitzgerald, in- structor in drama. Father Elric Warwick, O.F.M., designed and constructed a single unit set which ac- centuated the dramatic power of the play by its simplicity and symbolism.
