16TH CENTURY DRAMA
Brown
"Either the Rice Community
is manifesting a continuing cul-
tural interest in pre-Shake-
spearean drama," says English
Professor John Velz, "or the
campus is undergoing a moral-
ity revival." At any rate, Brown
College is reviving its morality
play, which is directed by the
ebullient Dr. Velz.
The play will be presented at
8 pm in the Memorial Center
Ballroom on Wednesday, Feb-
ruary 9. Admission is free, but
Dr. Velz points out that at the
last performance there was
standing room only.
The play is being revived in
response to requests from Rice
students and Houston residents
who were unable to attend the
first performance in December.
Velz characterizes the en-
deavor as "a low-budget pro-
duction with a low-talent direct-
or." The play is an allegory of
the academic life in the tradi-
tion of 15th and 16th century
religious morality plays.
Nevertheless, the play centers
on a romantic love interest.
Wyt, the protagonist, seeks the
hand of Lady Science. Although
in the course of the quest he is
overcome by Tediousness and
literally falls into the lap of
Lives Again
Idleness, he eventually is suc-
cessful, and the closing scene is
complete with kisses.
