RADIO WORKSHOP TO PRESENT UNIQUE DRAMA OVER NETWORK

Tonight at 9 o'clock Shakespeare comes to Harvard in an original comedy presented by the Harvard Radio Workshop over the Crimson Network. The play is entitled "Romeo in the Trees" and is written by Stanley Safian '46.

The play itself goes somewhat into the fourth dimension and bring William Shakespeare, G. B. Shaw, William Saroyan, and Lillian Hellman all into the same room at the same time.

The play starts in the single squared ring of the prize fights but soon spreads out into a three ring circus. The fight is between Shakespeare and Saroyan to determine who is to be credited as the guiding light of the drama, for posterity. Howard Mumford Jones shows up to be referee and brings along several of his English I section men to act as seconds and one thing and another.

The struggle in this fourth dimensional drama remains a strictly verbal one and of course Shakespeare remains far in the lead from the first round with his mastery of alliteration, and all the rest of that stuff that goes to make up the English language.

The play is ended on a sad note when William Saroyan decides to lead the dramatic field from a ranch in Arizona and fades out midst the sorrowful strains of "Home On the Range." The play is produced by Louis Eno '44, with Mendy Weisgall of HDC fame, Larry Creshkoff and Lon Weinman taking the leading roles.
