The director, Kelly Yeaton, has especially prepared this version of "The Alchemist" for the Univer sity's Center Stage. A. large amount of the overly literary lan guage which the modern audience would find mystifying has been removed or clarified in order to maintain the rushing pace of the plot according to Yeaton. Language 'Remains The language, Yeaton says, is still largely that of the original —rich, bawdy, and imaginative. Yeaton reports that the prudish Victorian cutting has been avoided in favor of a more modern and earthy version which would never pass the censors of television or Hollywood. Ben Jensen, author of the play, I was a friend and drinking com panion of William Shakespere, and was reported to have been one of the celebrating party at which Shakespere caught his fa tal fever—the head of the writers and wits that gathered at the Mer maid and other taverns. Play First Acted The play was first acted in Eli zabethan London on Sept. 1, 1610. This was during Shakespere's last years and about the time of the King James version of the Bible. It has been called "the highest peak of the fabulous Elizabethan literary period." Author of many famous come dies, masques, poems, and lyrics, Janson was one of the most learn ed men of his time. He was per haps best known for "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" and the satire "Volpone." Jenson Receives Degrees Jonson received honorary de grees from both Oxford and Cam bridge universities. In addition he was a notable soldier and chal lenged a Spaniard to single com bat before the armies, killing him and stripping him of his armor. His first theatrical success was anticlimaxed by a quarrel, follow ing which he killed an actor in a duel while at a disadvantage. Jonson barely escaped hanging for this, but managed to keep his life by pleading ".benefit of cler gy." He demonstrated this by his education and his ability to read Latin. In those days this benefit entitled him to a lighter sentence. However, his property was confis cated and he was branded on the thumb. co_edib lett, J.
