The month of August promises some extraordinary i examples of the dramatic art for Southern Californians as SC’s Summer Repertory Theatre begins its season this evening at 8:30 p.m.
Albert Camus’ “Caligula” will be staged tonight and continue through the next three Tuesdays in August.
The West Coast Premiere of Camus’ play and the other August presentations will be performed in Stop Gap Theatre near Hoover and Exposition Blvd.
Tickets are available for $1 50 and 52 by calling RI. 8-2311, Ext. 402. writing the drama ticket office at 3709 Hoover Street or coming there between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to pick up the tickets in person.
“Caligula” was written by Camus when he was 25 , years old as a representative of his philosophy of the 'absurd.
It is Camus’ realization that man must go through life until a certain point when he realizes that joy and grief do not last, that nothing is forever.
Caligula sees the absurdity of life and realizes the importance of trying to achieve the impossible—he sets out to demonstrate that unlimited personal freedom can j be accomplished by exercise of unlimited personal power.
Caligula robs, kills and seduces at random forcing all to submit to him and threatens them with death if they fail to pay homage.
What he does is seemingly insane and the play centers around the reaction of the people in the play to his actions.
“Caligula” will star Lew Carlino and Carol Ann
Daniels.
Carlino, actor and writer, authored “The Brick and The Rose” the first feature on the CBS Experimental Theatre. Miss Daniels played the title role of Ramona | at the annual Ramona pageant.
Wednesdays — tomorrow, 10, 17, and 24 — Fay and Michael Kanin’s adaptation of Ryunosuke Akutifawa's story, “Rashomon,” will be presented with the same successful cast of last semester's production.
This character-revealing story of lust and murder in ancient Japan will be presented by Michiko Suzuki, a graduate student from Tokyo, Tom Costello. Bob Jarzen and Grant Diskason.
“Rashomon” takes place in Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, about 1000 years ago.
Rashomon is the name of a huge gate which had once been a splendid monument but has fallen into decay by the time of the play.
Three scenes appear on the stage at once, and action flows between them.
The story of an attack and death in the forest is told four ways—as the Samurai, his wife and the bandit see it and finally as it really happened.
Each of the three main characters elevates his own part in the dramatic story.
Featured in the play are two violent sword duels between the Samurai and the bandit. The duels were advised by Moroa Mori, who is coach for the United States Olympic Fencing Team.
Much of the action of “Rashomon” is carried out through pantomime and physical contract rather than dialogue.
Thursdays — 4. 10, 17, 24 — will see Mary Manning’s stage version of James Joyce’s mystical “Finnegan’s Wake.”
The SC Drama Department is presenting the fourth U.S. performance on record of this strange allegory of the eternal cycle of life and the elements.
Featured in the cast are drama students Tom Costello, Nina Shaw, Lew Carlino and Lowell Thomas.
As Joyce’s novel begins with the ending of a sentence and ends with the beginning of that same sentence, so the play illustrates the Italian philosopher Vico’s theory that everything is based on a cycle — the cycle of rain, river, sea, mist, clouds and rain again.
Ann Livia Plurabelle is the eternal mother and eternal woman as manifested in the River Lifiey. In the play, the prologue establishes that what one is about to see has ben going on since time began, and life in Dublin parallels that of the cave man. The play gees straight into the wake, where Finnegan
