Show Allien Russon, Lowell Manfull, Kay Nolte, and Vern Adix plot tree house episode. THE GRASS HARP The comedy-fantasy, "The Grass Harp," was written by Truman Capote and directed by Robert Hyde Wilson. The play points out that people of spirit are much stronger than are people of discipline and selfishness. The scene is laid in the South, where two sisters, a brother, and a Negro mammy demonstrate the power of the "pure in heart." A tree house catches the center of activity as the imaginative mammy, sister, and brother escape to it to avoid dominence. "The Grass Harp" is Truman Capote's first play, although he has been a successful writer of movies and poetry since he was 19 years old. The poetry characteristic of all his works was evident here in the lines and in the lightness and grace of the movement. Sureta Jones playing the stern Verena Talbo and Kay Nolte, as the negro mammy, conflict. Cast: Shauna McLatchy, Eugene Ferrin, Mary Jane Hair, Lowell Manfull, Allien Russon, Vern Adix, Kay Nolte, Vaughn McBride, and Ursel Allred. |
