Through the medium Of twen-

Mrs. Antrobus, their son Henry,
their daughter Gladys, and their
maid Sabina-. Wilder tries to
portray the hopes fears, ambi-
tons. and accomplishments Of the
human race over the past five
thousand years. To do this, en-
phasis is placed on three periods
of mans existence: the approach
ing Ice Age. the coming Flood,
and the aftermath of war.

unusual play The players fire.
