"The theme of this play is the problem of adjustment to life, which Claudia undergoes. One factor in making "Claudia" a popular play, is that many people have had similar experiences," L. E. Tucker, director of the show said yesterday. "In the first act, Claudia is a happy-go-lucky kid tied to her mother's apron strings. Her mar riage, and expected -baby require a change from her over-depend ence upon her mother. Later,, in the 'climax of the play, she must resign herself to the loss of her mother. This adjustment, and her subsequent maturity, .provide a great deal of dramatic-.interest," Tucker added.
