It can be done. Jack Rank,
one man Shakesperean plav cast,
presented the full play "Tam
ing of the Shrew" last night with
the help of only one man; who
did not appear on the stage.
Before the play started. Rank
came on stage for a prologue in
which he explained to the audi
ence how Shakespeare had writ
ten the play in four days trt
please a noble who had a nag
ging wife.
He then began a quick suc
cession of scenes, changing cos
tumes between each one. L'p
; nlayed some of the parts so" well
, that it was hard u, believe that
; the cast was ;;t larger. All of
them were played effectively.
Eai.S change of costume re
quired only a few seconds, but
H.-.nk does not keep his audience
waiting even during the changes,
because many of the lines are
spoken behind the scenery, which
he and his assistant design in
their spare time.
Edited Day
When asked about the changes
necessary in the original play,
Rank said that it had to be com
pletely gone over and that when
he was through wit it it was
"half Shakespeare and half Jack
Rank." He also said that if one
was not a student of Shakespeare
it would be hard to tell where
that famous playwright left off
and Rank began.
