It will re open December 9 for a final three day run next week. In a tribute to Irish “imagina tion,” author J. M. Synge uses the simple, earthy background of west ern Ireland for his sharp, salty characters in the early 1900’s. Presented in Ireland First presented by the famed Abbey theater in Ireland, the play has since been introduced to Broad way twice, the latest production starring Burgess Meredith in 1946. Time magazine proclaimed it "the best of modern fall comedies." The leading role of Christy, a timorous young man from “a windy corner of high, distant hills” who seeks refuge in a village in western Ireland because he be lieves he has killed his father, :is played by Bob Over, senior in dra ma. Freshman Glenna Hurst plays opposite Over as Pegeen, the fickle Irish girl who falls in love with him and his newly acquired bra vado. The warm Irish humor and pun gent speech of the play has promp ted critics to say “Playboy of the Western World” remains after 40 years one of the fine things of tho theater.” More Cast Other members of the cast in clude Allen West as Shawn Keogh; Emilio Jackull as Widow Quin; Dick Rayburn as Michael James; Paul Deutchmann as Philly Cul len; Paul Bender as Jimmy Farrell; Mary Ellen McKay as Susan Bra dy.
