From the truth oi the mind to the truth of the heart we soared. From the concrete Strider Theater , to the esoteric snow country we were drawn as "Winter Crane" (written by our own Professor Sewell) made its Maine premiere last weekend. We were able to see the eternal struggle between violence and nonviolence as it was embodied in "a Japan of the imagination," as Richard Sewell calls it. Written in the sixties, "Winter Crane" does immerse itself in the "peace is the way" view, so prevalent in that period ; but unlike many of the now extinct plays of that era, "Winter Crane" is well-suited for the modern audience. Why? Because the virtues of war are recognized in the dialogue, and only in the conclusion is the attitude of the play expressed. Thus, we are treated to a wealth of differing opinions, and the play is sud- denly rich. "Th e p lay is too good to be waste d on just Colb y College...
