'Fishbowl' Knows Strange Quiet

Comedy Presents Production Problems

By JUDY OPPENHEIM
"The most striking problem in
producing Shakespeare's 'As You
Like It' is the scenery," Prof.
William Halstead of the speech
department said.
Prof. Halstead is director of
Playbill's presentation of the com-
edy which opens tomorrow night
at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
He said the main difficulty with
scenery is that scenes are set in
an orchard, in several rooms in
the palace, and in many different
locales in the Forest of Arden.
Rapid Transition
Two scenes of only eight lines
each are played in the palace be-
tween scenes in the forest. The
rapid transition would make the
play choppy if representational
scenery were used.
For this reason, Prof. Halstead
hit upon a scheme of walking
scenery, and in Playbill's produc-
tion of "As You Like It," the forest
literally "comes to life."
Eighteen members of the cast
are assigned to the role of scenery.
Twelve girls (five bushes and seven
trees) take over the vegetable as-
pect of the setting, while six men
and women play the roles of col-
umns.
Trees and columns are con-
structed from twelve-foot poles
and covered with burlap. With the
aid of their human counterparts,
they move into various groupings
to permit a variety of composition
in accordance with the mood of
each scene.
In many places, the fact that
the trees and columns are por-

trayed by real actors is openly1
acknowledged and adds to the
comedy.
For example, in one scene the
hero, Orlando, goes through the
forest tacking up poems in praise
of Rosalind, his love.
In most productions of "As You+
Like It" Orlando merely talks
about posting his poetry in the
forest. In this version, however, he
passes out his verses to the trees
who hold them up and later hand
them to various characters who
read poems.
In a kidding love-making scene,
Rosalind and Orlando sit on the
footlights and carry on a gay
conversation which implies an air
of great intimacy. The bushes link
arms and move up to stand be-
hind them, forming a small,
friendly setting.
Pathetic Fallacy
Once the idea of using people
as scenery became a reality, it
was decided to let them respond
to the lines in the play itself. By
using the device of pathetic fal-
lacy, feelings sympathetic to hu-
man beings are ascribed to the
scenery.
"The last time we used actors;
in the role of scenery, we found
that this was not distracting to
the audience after the first one or
two scene changes. I hope this is
the case with this production too,"
Prof. Halstead said.
In addition to the novel scenery,
the Playbill production of "As You
Like It" will feature special songs
and dances. The music to the songs
included in the script is the oldest

the speech department could find.
One song was written by a con-
temporary of Shakespeare, the
other by Arne, who wrote about
1700.
Dances Included
The dances called for near the
end of the play were planned by
Prof. Esther E. Pease of the edu-
cation school and are directed by
Karin Paulson, G., a member of
the cast.
Performances of the Shakespeare
play are tomorrow through Satur-
day 8 p.m. at the Lydia Mendels-
sohn Theatre. Tickets, available
for all four nights, are $1.50 and
$1 for Wednesday or Thursday,
$1.75 and $1.25 for Friday and
Saturday.
Next week William Inge's Pulit-
zer price-winning drama "Picnic,"
takes the Mendelssohn stage, to
be followed a week later by Mo-
zart's opera "Don Giovanni," with
the School of Music. Tickets for
all productions are available at
the Mendelssohn box office 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. daily and until 8 p.m.
on performance dates.
To .Discuss
TVChallenge
Under the auspices of the Uni-
versity speech department Garnet
R. Garrison, director of broadcast-
ing, will give a talk on "The Chal-
lenge of Educational TV" at 3 p.m.
today in the Rackham Amphi-
theatre.

REMEMBERED FOOTSTEPS-The Fishbowl is practically silent these days except for the echoes of
long-departed footsteps still throbbing in the yellow summer air. Where once there was not even
"standing room" available, the lonely plants cast long untrampled shadows on the floor and stand as
sentinels awaiting with nostalgia the return of the autumn days. Crossing the Diag an astute summer
student may suddenly realize that there are plants and benches in the Fishbowl, a place he once
envisioned as a stark enclosure for swarming human traffic negotiating the perilous narrows from
Haven to Mason or Angell Hall.
