"Don't Drink The Water," a comedy by Woody Allen, was this year's senior class play. It concerns the plight of an American family, the Hollanders, who are forced to seek asylum in the embassy of a small Iron Curtain country after being mistakenly pursued as spies.

As the play progresses, Walter Hollander, his wife Marion, and daughter Susan try to prove their innocence. The ineffectual assistance of Axel McGee who is filling in in the absence of his father, the well-known Ambassador McGee , the fear of being shot by Russion official Krojack, and the impossibility of living with the efficiency expert Kilroy all combine to make life miserable and the play hilarious.

Directed by Miss G. Martin and Michael Day with the assistance of Mr. Ascoli, the set was built under the supervision of Chuck Matley and Bob Oatway. It was a truly outstanding set for a truly outstanding play which will be recalled as one of our finest comedies.
