Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The setting of this play is projected into the near future when we might envisage a global pilot scheme to establish an ideal campus. But what could that be? In German there is a saying "Unter den Talaren ist der Muff von Tausend Jahren." Under the scholar's gown is the stale fluff of a thousand years. Can the new age campus retain the best of ancient tradition and liberate itself from much in that tradition which is in dire need of reform? The clash of personalities coincides with a clash of attitudes and philosophies. On a more personal level two ambitious members of the academic faculty contend for the hand of a young student, who happens to be the daughter of the Head of the English department. The student body is enraged by the imposition of a video-controlled surveillance system known as the BEAST, and, taking a lead from Shakespeare, they retreat to the green wood.
