Medfor'd Thespian Troupe To Present Greek Drama "The Birds," written by the Greek playwright, Aristo phanes in 414 BC and mod ernized by Walter Kerr, has been selected by the Thes pians of Medford High school for their spring production. Even though the play was written centuries ago, its humorous satire of civiliza tion, along with its tremen dous color and movement, de lights audiences today. The setting is a rugged mountain-top a short distance from Athens where the land of the birds is located. Var ious levels are used in the staging of the production. The story concerns two young men of Athens who are tired of taxes, laws, long headed poets, political com mentators, and other seg ments and pressures of civil ization. They are searching for a "paradise on earth" in which to live when they come upon the land of the birds. Their adventures and prob lems here compose a most de lightful farce-comedy. The selection of the play was based upon a production of "The Birds" presented by the University of Portland drama department in Jan uary. Members of Thespian Troupe 358 witnessed the per formance while attending their regional convention.
