IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE The Success of learned Ladies' A fine version of Moliere’s The Learned Ladies opened last week in the Main Theatre. Presented by the Drama department and Arts and Lectures, this production will run until Saturday. John Harrop’s direction has resulted in an extremely accomplished piece, with several notable per­ formances. Originally set in the Paris of 1672, the production has been tran­ sported to the Suffragette period of the early twentieth century. On the surface this is an attractive idea. From the vantage of the 1980’s we can draw certain comparisons between Moliere’s femmes savantes and the progenitors MALE EXOTIC EXTRAVAGANZA of modern-day feminism.
