Miss Maude Adams will give two performances of "As You Like It," under the auspices of the Harvard English Department, in Sanders Theatre, on Monday and Tuesday, June 1 and 2, 1908. The Elizabethan stage used in the production of "Hamlet" by Mr. Forbes-Robertson in April, 1904, will be reconstructed. The stage will be a reproduction of the "Fortune Theatre" as it existed in London in Elizabethan times. To make this possible, all the ground-floor seats in Sanders Theatre will be removed, and the stage built out into the pit about 20 feet. By means of scenic devices and drops, the galleries and tiled roof of the Elizabethan theatre will be made to appear in circular form. The curtain used will be a "trayers," suspended between pillars at either side of the stage, and the rear of the stage will be formed by an "arras," through which the actors will make their entrances. The stage furnishings will consist of a few Elizabethan chairs and settles. Professors G. P. Baker '87, H. L. Warren and W. A. Neilson will probably supervise the staging of the play.
