By JUDITH DONER The speech department will close its 1958-59 Playbill series with Sophocles' "Electra," to be presented at 8:30 p.m. Thursday,' Friday and Saturday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. .One of three dramatic treat- ments of the Orestes legend in Greek tragedy, the Sophocles ver- sion has all action revolving around Electra, the grieving daughter of a murdered father- murdered at the hands of his wife and her present husband., Electra refuses to cowtow to her parents; indeed she asks us to "Imagine, what it means to see,. day after day, Aegisthus sitting in my father's chair, , wearing the clothes he wore, pouring the same libations at the altar where he killed him: and last outrage, the murderer going to bed with her- must I still call her mother?" She lives as a prisoner, having to request permission to go any- where, do anything -and only sneaks out of the house when her step father is away. Acts, as oil Everyone in the play acts as the foil of Electra. She seems hardly to exist as a person except as a combination of reactions to others' actions and deeds. . Even then, each of these reac- tions only serves to show the hate To Perform' Moliere Play "Sganarelle," a one-act farce by Moliere, will be presented on the speech department's Laboratory Theatre Bill at 4:10 pm. tomor- row in the. Frieze Building's Aren Theatre. Subtitled "The Imaginary Cuckold," the play races through a progressively confusing maze of mistaken situations to an all- stops-out finale. From jealousy-ridden husband to the ever-competent nurse, the play affords each character a chance to take .the spotlight in the best Commedia 'dell Arte tradition. Directed by Don Lovell, Grad., the farce wil be presented using the Miles Malleson translation. The cast includes Peggy For- ward, '60, Sally Rosenheimer, Grad., Hilary Smith, '60 and Don- ald Ewing, Grad. Also seen in the play will be James Stegenga, '59, Terry Thure, '80 and Wayne Max- on, Grad. which she fegls toward the mur- derers-a hate which has encom- passed her to the point that she herself admits "With evil all around me there is nothing I can do that is not evil." Her father's death, her mother's enmity, her sister's passiveness, her brother's delay, Aegisthus' (her stepfather) tyranny - these are her life. Wishes for Brother The long wished-for coming of her brother Orestes is all that keeps her. going, and when she thinks him dead, all is lost. "I *have no friend in the world," she says. "If they hate me so; to kill me would be kindness;,Life is all pain to me; I want to die." Sqpocles is not justifying Elec- tra's hate, although viewers may for a moment believe this. For, "the 'Electra' is a play about the power of hate and misery bred in a particular personality which final- ly seems to lose the natural power' to create." Wants Revenge She can only think of revenge, which she calls "justice." It is she who eggs Orestes on and on and on to kill first his mother and then Aegisthus, although it must be ad- mitted that; he is not particularly difficult to persuade. As her mother begs for mercy from Orestes, Electra screams through closed doors "You had none for him, nor for his father before him!" 4, ) I .1 I HILLEL PLAYERS present ARI DA(APO and TWO SLATTERNS, AND A KING by Edna St. Vincent Millay Sunda, April 19 1 PINM. 149 No Charge Hillel Foundation 1 429 H ill Street II Ip MntS AUD IIEBTfrtANTHONY PE1KINS the forbidden forests beyond the Amazon I45nEEJI.COBB Doors open at 12:45 MEOCOLOR and CinemaScope Shows at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 P.M. mes a I I presented by the Michigan Union April 12-19 Gintetna qdId Sunday at 8:00 KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS with ,1 .
