Show Playbox em jul The first University of Utah Playbox production of the season, "A Roomful of Roses," featured a local cast which was, for the most part, new to the Playbox. Newcomers Margaret Buchman and Howard J. Becker gave particularly fine performances. Jay W. Lees directed the three act play written by Edith Somner, assisted by Annette Huntsman. The Playbox is a production unit of the University Theatre under the supervision of Director Robert Hyde Wilson. Gerard Larson and Roscoe Grover as Didi and Gogo, in November Playbox production. Margaret Buchman, Robert Michael Wilson, Sereta Welch, and Howard J. Becker. The Hewitts, played by Bena Le Gibson, Carol Silver, and MikeMurdock. Waiting fa A sensitive cast starring Roscoe Grover and Gerard Larson (both members of the University of Utah faculty), and an unexcelled director-Robert Hyde Wilson-brought a new perspective to the Playbox stage in the form of Samuel Beckett's creative abstraction-"Waiting fof Godot." The play is paticularly well adapted to Theatre-in-the-Round presentation because of the lack of scenery and the complete dependance of the play upon the abilities of the actors. It may well be considered a milestone in University drama. As an intensely meaningful symbolism presented with exceptional conviction and skill, "Godot" was a huge success. 102 |
