Shakespeare's "Henry VI" will,
be presented in repertory No-
vember 17 through December 5 in
Trueblood Auditorium by the Uni-
versity Players. Because of the
huge technical demands of the
script and the many complex ma-,
nipulationsinvolved, the play is
rarely performed in full. This isj
thought to be the fifth time a
complete threenpart sequence has
been given in one season.
Robert BcGill, Grad, who plays
the Duke of York and is the!
business manager, describes "Hen-
ry VI" as a study of period, not
of individual characters. Many
small roles are very important to
the play, he says. The play in-
volves many battle scenes: over
200 costumes and 40 sets of ar-
mor are used. Ross Young, Grad,
is the costume technician and pro-1
vided these. The play is jointly
directed by William P. Halstead
and Richard Burgwin, with the as-
sistance of Claribel Baird. They
are all professors in the Depart-
ment of Speech.
Martha Patterson, promotions
director of the UP, states that
many battle scenes included in the
original play are cut out of this
presentation, for the reason that
they are unnecessary and unde-
cisive. In addition, some 300 lines
of "Richard III," a later play by
. Shakespeare, have been included
as an epilogue. By this addition,
it is believed that the story will
be rounded out and many ques-
tions answered.
"Henry VI" has been criticized
by many people. For a long time.
the authorship has been in doubt.
Now, it is generally accepted that
the plan and the majority of the
writing is by Shakespeare, Mrs.
Patterson said. The play is one
of Shakespeare's first and is some-
times called the work of an im-
mature playwright. Mrs. Patterson
states that, although the poetry
involved is not as in later works,
his sense of theatricality or his
ability to dramatize were alreadyI
present. This is evidenced through
the moving scene where a father
finds he has killed his son and a
son finds out he has killed his
father. This, she states ,is per-
haps the most beautiful scene in!
the play. Mrs. Patterson added
that she believes the cutting and
the adding of an epilogue has
helped to make the important
scenes stand out.
Because the complicated chron-
ology tends to become confusing
at times. it is honed that a large3
dramatic monstrosity, but in the
hands of Maestro Svetlanov they
emerged as a rythmically vital
piece with fine sense of form and
line.
