(Workshop Theatre photo by Larry Cameron) 1 Events Worshop Theatre currently has "A Touch of the Poet" by Eugene O'Neill. "A Touch of the Poet" is the last completed play by O'Neill and is the story of an Irish immigrant who fancies himself more of a gentleman that a peasant. He has to come face to face with Yankee aristocracy and its idiosyncracies. Melody finds that he must deal with his illusions of his own grandeur as must his daughter Sara. Sara is trying to win Simon llarford, the son of a Yankee iristocrat and she, like her father, clashes with the rigidity of aristocratic customs. "A Touch of the Poet" is set in 1828 in the Melody Inn just outside of Boston. It deals with the political climate of the Jacksonian era and the struggle between illusion and reality, the battle between romanticism and prac ticality and the hairline that separates love from hate in families. The director of the play is Jen nifer Atkinson and she brings with .her a wealth of knowledge of O'Neill's work. She has edited a volume of O'Neill's previously unpublished early plays and has compiled a descriptive bibliography of O'Neill's work to be published in the spring. "A Touch of the Poet" runs through Dec. 9 and tickets for students are $2.50 and $3.50 for the general public. Reservations may bie made by calling 252-5756. AN TED -ITS llIege Street Ed
