One of the most difficult plays of the twentieth century to produce took place at William Jewell College this year. The theatre department successfully presented the challenging work, Mararffiade, by Peter Weiss on April 23-26. A large cast of energetic, talented actors, professionally designed costumes, and a stunning set, contributed to the realistic aura of the play. Dr. Kim Harris, director of the play, gave two main reasons for the production of this play. The first is that it en- compasses a Christian perspective. He stated that it is an old lesson in Christian thought that facing oneself honestly is the first step toward God. Dr. Harris's second reason for pro- ducing Mararf5ade is that it is a liberal arts play. lt included drama, music, history, art, philosophy, and other areas of man's thought that can be found in a liberal arts college. The play is somewhat historical. It takes place in the Royal Asylum of Charenton in Paris, in the year 1808. During this time, Parisian citizens went to the insane asylums to observe the actions of the inmates. Throughout the play, the purpose of revolution and violence is questioned as the inmates act out the assassination of the revolutionary, Jean-Paul Marat, by the royalist, Charlotte Corday. The play was not merely for entertainment purposes, but it caused the audience to assess its own views on the sub- ject. Dr. Harris added that the resolutions at the end of the play are not neatly packaged, therefore the individual au- dience members must think for themselves. . f' ' 1. ,-350 Above: Jeff Lewis, sr., as Jean Paul Marat is carried about the stage by Patrick Reynolds, fr., and Clay Hamilton, so.

Tatler Goes T.V. the theme for the revue offered a wide array of shows, spoofs and jibes.
