Lennox Robinson joins Shaw and O'Casey this week in the ranks of Irish dramatists to be chosen for production by local College groups, when the Radcliffe Idler opens its production of his comedy, "Is Life Worth Living?" Thursday at Agassiz Theater.
With Cathleen O'Conner, John Mannick '49, and Anna Prince, Radcliffe '48, among those feateured in the production, Idler's second presentation of the year is "the best" of Robinson's comedies, according to John V. Kelleher, assistant professor of Modern Irish Literature and History, whom Idler consulted for background material.
The influence of Robinson, among the lesser-known Irish writers on the Irish stage is hard to estimate, Kelleher said. "He always wrote of the living people," Kelleher declared, "without sacrificing his power of creating personalities on the altar of political or propagandist nationalism."
The cast:
Elaine Limpert, Radcliffe '48, as Lizzle Twohig; Mary Maloney, Radcliffe '48, as Helene; Claire Gilman, Radcliffe '48, as Christine Lambert; Robert E. Miller '48 as Eddie Twohig; Robert Claflin '40 as John Twohig; Cathleen O'Connor as Constance Constantia; John Mannick '49 as Hector De La Mare; Anna Prince, Radcliffe '48, as Annie Twohig; Alex Bzdula '47 as Peter Hurley, T.D.; Tom Dunn as Michael; Thomas Mantel '50 as John Hegarty; William N. Jenkins '49 as William Slattery; Michael Aherne as Tom Mooney.
