'Trial of Capt. John Brown' Begins Oct.13
"The Trial of Capt. John Brown." an Experimental Theatre production, will open at 8 p.m. Thursday in Swarthout Recital Hall.
The play, written by Richard Stockton, will have its third showing here. The author plans to watch the KU reaction to the show because it is scheduled for an off-Broadway showing "in the future."

said Moses Gunn, St. Louis, Mo. graduate student and director of the play.
Gunn has used a combination of staged readings and full stage set to present a theatrical image that will transport the viewer back to 1850 to sense the principal concepts at stake during the trial.
John Welz, Webster Groves, Mo.
junior, who will portray John Brown said there is such a mass of documentary and historical evidence about Brown's character that it is possible to get a three-dimensional portrayal.
"It is such a moving, enthralling piece of theater it is easy to become completely involved and immersed in it," Welz said.
With the exception of a few actors, the cast is made up of people who are being presented to KU theatergoers for the first time, Gunn said.
He commented that the Kansas Centennial Commission is now working on plans to set up a tour for the show throughout the state during the Centennial year.
Tickets for the Oct. 13-15 presentation are available at the University Theatre box office, the student union ticket desk, and Bells Music store.
