'Agamemnon' set through Jan. 13
     Agamemnon, Aeschylus' masterpiece of betrayal, murder and
revenge, continues in rotating repertory through Jan. 13.
     Presented by the Professional Theatre Training Program, this
devastatingly profound and provocative classic Greek tale entwines
such cosmic themes as justice, inherited guilt and the transmission of
evil from generation to generation.
     The stunning recounting of the sacrifice of Agamemnon's daughter,
Iphigenia, and the resulting avenging murder by his adulterous wife,
Clytemnestra, has made Agamemnon one of the world's great plays.
     Agamemnon will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12;
Friday, Nov. 18; Saturday, Nov. 19; Sunday, Nov. 20; Sunday, Dec. 4;
Tuesday, Dec. 13; and Friday, Jan. 13. A 12:30 p.m. matinee is
scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 13.
     All performances will be held in Hartshorn Gymnasium.

Saturday evenings, $12 for weeknights and $10 for matinees and Sunday
evenings. Prices for senior citizens and University faculty and staff

Staged reading of Nancy King play
     A staged reading of Until We Notice, a play by Nancy King,
professor in the University Honors Program, will be given at 7:30
p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 16, at the Unitarian Church, 730 Halstead Rd.,
Wilmington.
     Featured in the cast will be Robert Bennett, associate professor
of English, and Sara Horowitz, assistant professor of English, both at
the University.
     Until We Notice is based on a folktale found in many cultures.
The play explores what happens when Marissa, a young, beautiful,
wealthy and beloved daughter, encounters Fate, who forces her to
choose between being happy when young and unhappy when old or being
unhappy when young and happy in old age.
     Marissa's decision causes the immediate loss of all her wealth,
privilege and protection. She is thrust into a world for which she has
no preparation or experience, and the play shows how she begins to
discover who she is and what she needs to make her way in the world.
