Mermaid Players Present Two Plays

The Mermaid Players presented the closing performances of two plays: The Bald Soprano and The Lesson, both by Eugene Ionesco. The Lesson was given in conjunction with this year's Public Affairs Symposium, which dealt with the issues of contemporary education. The play essentially mocks the educational system and its non-communicative form of communication, as well as its Anglo-Saxon egocentricity.
