Each town pro duced an annual pageant com posed of plays written, direc ted, and performed by volun teer townspeople. As a tra ditional folk art, this type of play poses several problems for the modern acting company. One of the major problems is that of contrived rhyme. If the words did not rhyme the amateur play wright simply changed the spelling and pronu nciation to fit his purposes thus making the dialoge difficult for a modern audience todigestand understand. Medieval words and phrases tax the creativity o( the actor who must some how interpret them into action for the audience. There are five allegorical characters In the two plays: Truth, Mercy, Justice, Peace and Contemplation, The por trayal of the four virtues pre sents a difficult task of char-, acterizatlon. The actors will not be portraying characters but will be Interpreting Ideas or concepts of the virtues. Con templation presents the same problem. He Is the personifi cation of mankind - an "every- man” type of character. This play is especially dif- - flcult because the medieval playwright left us only the dia loge, The director and his company have complete free dom of characterization and interpretation. This is not Mr, Kagey’s first experience with pageant plays. While in undergraduate school at the University of Ohio, Mr, Kagey studied approximately twenty different plays in a course covering Medieval Dra ma, He designed scenery for a production of “Noyha’s Flud- de” (Noah’s Flood), from the Chesterfield cycle, and he also (Oootiniued On Page 4) Organ Recital Presented By Phyllis Sutton NEWS BUREAU—Phyllis L.
