HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Summer Drama at Harvard, recently organized as the only summer student theatrical group in the University, has started rehearsals for its bizarre double-bill, "Hopalong Freud" and "Twink."
The presentation of the two plays, on August 18-20, will mark the first public performance of "Freud" in New England. Written by Ira Wallach, it is a parody of T.S. Eliot's "The Cocktail Party." John Kasdan '60-4 and Julius Novick '60 (who preferred to describe the play as a "travesty" rather than a "parody") will direct.
Robert Shure's "Twink," "indescribable" according to Novick, was first produced at the University as a Harvard Dramatic Club Workshop this spring. Larry Stark will direct this short play.
The group hopes to obtain the Poets Theatre (near the Coop textbook Annex) for its performances. Anita Scott '60 and Phil DuSault '59 will produce both shows.
