Hansen, Chairman of Drama at the BYU, is directing it and uc-cording uc-cording to Mr. Fred Adams, CSU Drama Director, this should be a great treat for theater goers of Southern Utah. In a review of "J. B.", Brooks Atkinson in the New York Times has said: "Looking around at the wreckage and misery of the modern mo-dern world, Mr. MacLeish has written a fresh and exalting morality that has great stature one of the memorable works of the century as verse, as drama and as spirtual inquiry The glory glo-ry of Mr. MacLcish's play is that as in the Book of Job, J. B. does not curse God. When he is reunited re-united with his wife, two humbled hum-bled but valiant people accept the universe, agree to begin life all over again, expecting no justice jus-tice but unswerving in their devotion de-votion to God In every respect, "J. B." is theatre on its highest level. It seems to contain within with-in it the whole and inspiring world of man." |
