stepson, Hippolytus.
What happened, as Racine
reconstructed it, was a great
deal of conversation, culminat-
ing in the violent deceaSe of a
number of the conversational l.
lists. This is generally called one
OF the greatest and some-
times the greatest - of the
classical French tragedies of its
period. AS it stands today on
the University Theater stage,
however, it is more a historical
exhibit than an impassioned
drama.
This is not to say that it is
without interest. It's a vastly
interesting affair, a first rate
example of Racine's favorite
device, the dramatizing of the
climax of a crisis in the tight
est possible confines of the
classic unities of time and
space.
Leo Brady, who directed
"Phedre" with an assist from
Josephine McGarry Callan, the
Gu voice wizard, emphasizes
its classic status by having it
played with a sort of formal
artificiality. It is posed, rather
than performed. Even Ludi
Claire, the guest star in the
title role. seems to be arrang-
ing herself carefully in the most
attractively composed picture
when she purports to be in the
clutches of the widest passion
Mr.. Brady also has given
"Phedre" motion that is no
substitute for movement. There
is no place here for a Method
actor demanding to know his
motivation for suddenly Wheel
ing and marching 10 PAGES to
the right.
What this all amounts to
probably is a directoral triumph
in matching formal classic
drama with the performing
style Of its time. It is an aca-
demic triumph more than an
entertainment one, but then
this is an academic institution.
y y
1t is possible that stylized
production was dictated in part
by the unavoidable limitations
of the student cast. Miss Claire,
the visiting star, does approach
with zest one of the most cov-
eted feminine roles in the
theater. She is affecting, too,
in her moments of intenseSt
drama - when she verbally
filings herself at HippoIytus and
when she finally confeSSeS to
Theseus, too late to avert blood
shed, that she, not his son, was
responsible for what happened
even if it didn't happen.
Beyond Miss Claire there is
some evidence that "Phedre'
and other dramas of its ilk are
forever beyond the reach ot
undergraduate actors. This is
not something for which they
can be criticized, of course, and
it must be noted that those in
volVed here give it brave try

On the one hand, the Belgian

and military advisers from

On the other hand. the Bel

If the lone railway carrying
