College Play
to have three
night stand
The initial offering of the New
berry College Theatre’s eighth
season will be Sophocles’ Oedi
pus the King. The production is
slated for presentation the last
three days of Newberry County’s
Tricentennial Week, Nov. 12, 13,
and 14.
The play is based on the re
ligious Greek legend of the curse
placed on the house of Laius
by the Greek God of Truth,
Apollo. Because this oracle
warned Laius that he would die
at the hands of his son, he bound
his infant son’s feet together and
left him on a lonely mountain
to die. Years later when Laius
was slain, it was reported that
a band of robbers had killed
him The matter was not care
fully investigated because The
bes was in a state of panic at
the time.
The country was beset by a
monster Spinx in the shape of
a winged lion The Spinx seized
all travelers near the city and
devoured them because they
were unable to answer a riddle
she put to them. The seven
great gates which were the The-
bian’s pride remained closed,
famine drew near to the citizens.
So matters stood when there
came into the stricken country
a stranger, a man of great cou
rage and great intelligence, Oe
dipus (played by Allen Witt,
Lake City, Fla soph.). Oedipus
was homeless and friendless; a
man to whom life meant little.
He determined to seek out the
Spinx and to try to solve the
riddle. Because he supplied the
correct answer, the Spinx kil
led herself and the Thebians
were saved. The grateful citi
zens made him their King and
he married the dead King’s wife,
Jocasta. played by Connie Ric-
kenbakcr, Conway, sr ).
When their sons had grown to
manhood, Thebes was visited by
a terrible plague. Those who
were spared death by disease
faced death by famine. Oedipus
regarded himself as the father
of the whole state; the people
in it were his children; the mi
sery of each one was his too.
He dispatched Jocasta’s brother,
Creon (played by Wally Whit
worth. Columbia, fr.) to Delphi
to implore the God’s help. It is
here that Sophocles’ play begins.

duled for Saturday, Nov. 14,
was to have been part of the
